PREFACE. 


•♦• 


To  the  merely  superficial  observer  of  passing  events,  the 
present  is  an  age  of  wonders.  In  it  masses  of  mankind  seem 
to  have  shaken  off  the  slumber  of  the  mind,  in  which  genera- 
tion after  generation  had  been  for  long  centuries  held,  and  to 
be  hourly  stepping  forth  to  a  thousand  activities  unknown  in 
the  periods  of  the  past. 

The  Past, — to  the  most  of  us,  what  does  it  signify  but  a 
number  of  centralizations  of  human  power,  with  varying 
shades  of  darkness,  or  enlightenment  of  knowledge,  in  which 
the  individual  of  the  masses  has  but  a  numerical  value,  or,  at 
most,  appears  absorbed  in  the  cares  of  subsistence,  of  petty 
ambition,  or  of  attachment  to  the  ruler  of  the  empire  ? 

But  the  Christian  man  supposes,  and  is  sure  that  GOD  in 
his  providence  and  grace  has  dealt  with  each  individual  being 
that  has  dwelt  here  for  a  brief  space. 

And  in  this  age,  wherein  the  purposes  of  the  Most  High, 
bringing  along  with  them  countless  and  ever  increasing  agen- 
cies for  their  fulfilment,  are  proceeding  with  a  rapidity  and 
power  no  less  startling  than  were  the  preceding  silence  and 
calm  majestic  and  ominous,  the  Christian  sees  accumulated 
motives  to  action,  earnest  unremitting  action, — for  himself, 
for  his  brethren,  for  the  world  of  mankind. 

He  sees  among  the  instrumenfcilities  of  the  times,  one  that 
perhaps  more  than  any  other,  discovers  the  finger  of  God,, 
the  printing  press  and  steam  power  combined^  through  whose 


vi 


Preface, 


means  all  that  the  world  has  of  knowledge  may  be  offered  to 
every  man.  And  may  we  not  suppose  that  we,  even  now, 
stand  at  the  opening  of  that  period  of  solemn  and  massive 
acts  referred  to  in  the  inspired  words — "  Many  shall  run  to 
andfro^  and  knowledge  shall  he  increased^''  ?  Surely,  these  are 
words  which  for  aptitude  to  the  present  age,  with  a  fulness  and 
concentration  of  meaning,  could  only  have  been  devised  by 
the  Spirit  of  God.  They  may  imply  not  merely  Christian 
knowledge  in  the  limited  signification,  but,  all  of  human 
learning,  and  the  knowledge  of  good  and  evil, — a  universality 
of  mind,  stirring,  moving,  plunging  into  the  vortex  of  excited 
and  furious  human  action,  the  hitherto  stolid  masses  of  matter ! 
What  then  is  the  increasing  responsibility  of  the  Christian  men 
of  this  generation ! 

We  learn  in  Holy  Writ,  that  while  men  slept,  an  enemy 
sowed  tares  among  the  wheat  of  the  husbandman,  and  it  is  not 
surprising  that  the  enemy  of  mankind  should  avail  himself  of 
the  same  power  that  is  exercised  by  the  servants  of  the  Most 
High ;  and  that  he  does  so,  and  continues  to  do  so  with  this 
grand  agency,  the  printing  press,  is  discernable  in  its  issues 
fiPom  day  to  day. 

To  distinguish  between  the  true  and  the  false  of  that  which 
proceeds  from  the  press,  or,  between  the  mainly  true  and  the 
mainly  false,  since  imperfection  attaches  to  every  human  per- 
formance, becomes,  therefore,  a  most  important  work  in  regard 
to  the  great  interests  of  mankind. 

Even  to  point  out  a  goodly  number  of  books  that  may  be 
commended  as  safe  counsellors  to  the  inquiring,  may  prove  a 
useful  labor,  and  this  is  the  labor  that  is  commenced  in  the 
present  Catalogue. 

The  preliminary  task  of  examining  some  thousands  of 
volumes ;  and  the  digest  and  arrangement  of  the  selection,  in 
the  present  form,  was  undertaken  for  the  publisher,  by  a  Pres- 
byter of  the  CJjurch  of  rare  biblical,  theological,  and  literary 


Preface,

attainments.  His  thorough  discipline  and  activity  of  mind, 
his  strong  heart,  and  ready  hand  enabled  him  to  perform,  within 
a  twelvemonth,  an  amount  of  labor  that  in  the  conception  and 
plan  would  have  been  appalling  to  most  men,  and  that  would, 
with  most,  have  lingered  in  the  execution ;  but  he  joined  in  it 
with  an  earnestness  that  knew  no  abatement ;  he  rejoiced  in 
it,  as  a  work  through  which  he  could  serve  his  Divine  Master 
with  even  more  efficiency  than  in  his  past  ministrations,  zealous 
and  faithful  though  they  had  been.  This  work  accomplished, 
he  has  gone  hence;  he  has  joined  the  company  of  the  re- 
deemed ;  and,  in  these  pages,  being  dead,  he  yet  speaketh. 

He  speaks  to  us,  as  when  with  us  he  was  wont,  as  a  friend, — 
upon  a  thousand  topics,  willing  and  desirous  to  serve  us,  ac- 
cording to  our  want,  our  need, — ^inviting  us  with  good  things, 
speaking  hopeful  and  encouraging  words. 

His  were  no  narrow  views ; — ^he  sought,  through  all  right 
means,  and  such  as  would  obtain  an  entrance  to  men's  minds, 
to  win  them  to  the  perception  of  the  truth. 

These  are  his  remarks.  "  Our  single  and,  we  trust,  sincere 
"  aim,  is  to  encourage  the  circulation  of  good  books,  without 
'•yielding  to  the  bias  of  illiberal  prejudices.  It  was  the  trit« 
"  and  just  observation  of  a  godly  Protestant  divine  who,  when 
"  rebuked  for  reading  a  volume  of  Devotions  by  the  monk 
"  a  Kempis,  said,  '  I  find  it  good  for  me  when  I  feel  cold  to 
"  warm  myself  by  such  a  fire.'  «  *  *  *  Several  classes 
"  of  popular  writings  are  intentionally  omitted,  one  being  too 
"well  known  (by  its  sources  or  dissemination,)  to  require 
"  characterization ;  another  being  objectionable  on  account  of 
"  its  frivolous  character,  bad  taste,  unsound  teaching,  or  im- 
"  moral  tendency ;  and  yet  another,  comprising  many  books 
"  of  long  established  reputation,  a  place  for  which  (with  an 
"account  of  their  numerous  editions)  could  not  be  afforded 
"  without  too  greatly  increasing  the  size  of  the  Catalogue.  On 
"  the  other  hand,  the  productions  of  authors  who  use  the  shib- 


VUl 


Preface, 


"  boleth  of  Geneva  or  of  Rome  are  inserted,  in  consideration 
"  of  their  intrinsic  value ;  and  also  important  works  by  cer- 
"  tain  high  toned,  or  by  ultra  Protestant  writers.  All  such 
"  volumes  are,  of  course,  to  be  read  with  caution  and  with  such 
"  abatement  as  they  respectively  require." 

In  the  preparation  of  the  Library  for  a  Parish  Minister^ 
counsel  was  sought  of  the  Bishops  of  the  Church,  and  of  many 
learned  Presbyters ;  and  a  large  amount  of  valuable  informa- 
tion and  advice  was  received  in  response  to  the  application. 
This  list  is  therefore  held  in  very  high  estimation  by  the  pub- 
lisher, and  he  presents  it  with  no  little  confidence  to  the 
clergy  of  the  Church. 

Let  no  one  suppose  that  the  contents  of  this  Catalogue 
should  commend  themselves,  one  and  all,  to  his  mind.  A 
consideration  of  the  endless  variety  in  the  formation  and 
modes  of  mind,  will  at  once  preclude  such  an  idea ;  and  the 
impracticableness  of  an  effort  to  meet  the  wants  of  all,  and 
to  nonsuit  none,  in  a  single  publication,  will  be  immediately 
apparent. 

The  publisher  of  the  Catalogue  by  no  means  values  all  its 
contents  alike,  and  he  has  still  a  discriminative  work  to  per- 
form in  the  occasional  presentations  of  them,  and  whenever 
his  own  discretion  is  relied  upon.  In  all,  for  himself,  and  for 
the  sake  of  his  departed  friend,  he  invokes  the  exercise  of  the 
charity  which  is  kind  and  which  thinketh  no  evil.

Not  enjoyment,  and  not  sorrow. 

Is  our  destined  end  or  way; 
But  to  act,  that  each  to-morrow

Art  is  long,  and  "Rme  is  fleeting. 

And  our  hearts,  though  stout  and  brave, 

Still,  like  muffled  drums,  are  beating 
Funeral  marches  to  the  grave.

A    CHAPTER   ON 


ENGLISH   LITERATURE. 


•«-»^ 


Intelligent  Americans  who  would  obtain  a  correct  knowledge 
of  the  character  and  history  of  the  Anglican  race,  to  which  we  owe 
our  national  origin,  cannot  effectually  accomplish  this,  but  by  a 
comprehensive  study  of  English  literature.  They  must  peruse 
the  writings  of  authors  of  successive  periods ;  and  must  so  observe 
the  manner  in  which  these  authors  respectively  develop  thought 
and  exhibit  passing  events,  as  distinctly  to  note  the  race's  prog- 
ress, and  to  become  acquainted  with  the  causes  by  the  operation 
of  which  the  English  language  and  English  literature  are  destined 
to  exert  a  predominant  influence,  in  the  propagation  of  those  prin- 
ciples  which  are  to  mould  the  final  destiny  of  mankind. 

English  literature  not  only  reposits  the  intellectual  and  moral 
treasures,  but  reflects,  in  a  picturesque,  striking,  and  instructive 
manner,  the  history  and  character  of  the  people  of  England,  from 
the  fourteenth  century  to  the  present  time. 

It  is  intimately  and  essentially  related  to  whatever,  in  the  na- 
tional and  social  experience  of  this  people,  has  marked  an  epoch, 
or  imparted  particular  interest  to  individual  members  of  certain 
communities.  It  has  not  merely  fulfilled  the  office  of  a  chronicler 
or  recorder,  but  it  has  embalmed  the  thoughts  and  emotions  which 
have  distinguished  different  eras,  and,  with  the  authority  of  a  con- 
stituted teacher,  it  has  imparted  speculative  wisdom,  and  inculca- 
ted practical  precepts  for  the  regulation  of  human  affairs,  in  every 
department  of  public  and  private  life.  Although  often  obstructed, 
and  not  unfrequcntly  turned  out  of  its  natural  channel,  the  stream

bas,  age  after  age,  continued  to  flow  on,  faithfully  reflecting,  as  in 
a  mirror,  the  scenery  through  which  it  has  passed ;  exhibiting  tibe 
,  various  and  attractive  evidences  of  advancing  civilization ;  social 
and  political  vicissitudes;  the  movements  of  armies  and  fleets; 
the  rise  and  fall  of  cities ;  the  calm  and  storm  of  life ;  the  clouds 
and  the  sunshine  of  overhanging  Heaven's  frowns  and  smiles. 

The  period  comprised  by  English  literature  embraces  about  five 
centuries.  From  the  middle  of  the  tenth  to  the  middle  of  the  four- 
teenth century,  the  French  language  maintained  an  ascendancy  in 
England.  At  that  time,  however,  its  general  use  began  rapidly  to 
decline.  The  vernacular  of  the  people  rose  from  its  depression ; 
and  authors  began  to  adopt  it,  more  and  more  generally,  in  the 
composition  of  their  works. 

The  earliest  English  poem,  and  first  original  English  work,  "  The 
Vision  of  Piers  Ploughman,"  attributed  to  Lanoland,  is  a  truthful 
picture  of  the  state  of  society  in  the  middle  of  the  fourteenth  cen- 
tury, and  distinctly  indicates,  that  the  free  spirit  of  progress  had 
then  been  roused  and  was  abroad. 

The  earliest  writer  of  English  prose.  Sir  John  Mandkville, 
lived  at  the  same  time.  His  "  Travels"  in  the  East  abound  with 
records  of  marvels,  and  disclosures  of  the  superstitions  and  igno- 
rance of  his  age;  but  they  contain  a  great  deal  that  is  highly  inter- 
esting, and  they  are  a  key  to  the  state  of  science  and  of  social  life 
inhisday. 

Then  followed  Trevisa,  with  his  "  Polychronicon ;"  Wiclif,  with 
his  first  English  translation  of  the  Scriptures ;  Archdeacon  Bar- 
bour, with  his  veracious  and  spirited  portraiture  and  remarkable 
fortunes  of  the  heroic  "  Bruce ;"  and  "  moral  Gower,"  with  his 
"  Confessio  Amantis ;"  but,  both  in  prose  and  verse,  far  above  these 
and  all  others  of  his  contemporaries,  Geoffrey  Chaucer,  Father  of 
English  poetry,  and,  as  he  is  called  by  Spenser,  the  "  well  of  Eng- 
lish undefiled." 

A  scholar,  courtier,  man  of  fortune,  companion  of  kings  and 
nobles,  Chaucer  indulged  his  poetic  genius,  in  the  delineation  of  life- 
scenes  in  the  reign  of  Edward  III.  His  "  Canterbury  Tales,"  cheer- 
ful and  exquisitely  tender,  have,  for  more  than  four  centuries,

afforded  men  of  letters  a  continual  feast.  Coleridge  has  well  said 
of  him,  "  His  manly  cheerfulness  is  especially  delicious  to  me  in  my 
old  age."  And  now  that  his  works  are  modernized,  they  will  be, 
more  than  ever,  resorted  to  as  refreshing  fountains,  sparkling  with 
the  inspiration  of  Castalia. 

Among  the  patrons  of  letters  and  the  contributors  to  its  stores,  in 
the  middle  of  the  fifteenth  century,  were  two  English  noblemen : 
the  learned  Earl  of  Worcester,  John  Tiptoft,  and  the  accomplished 
Earl  Rivers,  Anthony  Woodville.  At  the  same  time,  Thomas 
Occleve,  unaided  by  the  tuneful  nine,  indited  his  prosaic  rhymes ; 
and  the  monk  Lydgate,  whose  invocation  of  the  muses  appears  never 
to  have  received  even  one  response,  manufactured  his  nerveless 
poems,  literary  automata,  now  of  little  interest  except  as  indica- 
tions of  the  manners  of  the  age. 

In  Scotland  appeared  Wynton,  Henryson,  Holland,  and  Blind 
Harry.  Wynton's  "Chronicle,"  a  poem  in  nine  books,  is  chiefly 
to  be  valued  as  a  contribution  to  Scottish  history.  The  school- 
master Henryson  composed  with  more  care,  and  wrote  with  greater 
purity,  especially  in  his  pastoral  and  his  translation  of  iEsop. 
Holland's  "  Book  of  the  Owl"  is  very  inferior  to  this.  But  Henry 
the  Minstrel,  the  poet  of  the  common  people,  strikes  his  harp  with 
a  bold  hand,  while  he  celebrates,  with  great  energy  of  language  and 
glowing  sentiments  of  patriotism,  the  exploits  of  Wallace. 

Superior  to  all  these  poets  of  the  fifteenth  century,  and  to  all  who 
followed,  previous  to  the  Elizabethan  era,  was  James  I.  of  Scotland, 
whose  "  King's  Quair,"  or  King's  Book,  is  an  engaging  autobiogra^ 
phy,  and  a  recital  of  his  tender  passion  for  the  Lady  Beaufort, 
afterward  his  Queen ;  and  it  affords  an  admirable  specimen  of  the 
earliest  English  belles  lettres. 

William  Caxton,  the  Dr.  Faustus  of  England,  now  appeared 
upon  the  stage.  And  his  is  the  merit  and  renown,  of  first  intro- 
ducing the  art  of  printing  into  his  native  country.  This  interesting 
event  occurred  in  the  year  1474.  Caxton  was  the  author  of  the 
first  book  printed  in  our  language,  and  of  the  first  book  printed  in 
England.  And  with  astonishing  industry  he  issued  from  the  press 
more  tban  sixty  translated  works,  in  history  and  general  literature.

One  of  Ms  contemporaries,  the  Scottish  poet  Dunbar,  author  of 
"  The  Dance  of  the  Seven  Deadly  Sms,"  and  "  The  Golden  Terge," 
produced  also  a  poem  which  he  called  "  The  Thistle  and  the  Rose," 
and  in  which  he  celebrates  the  royal  nuptials  of  James  IV.  and 

Margaret  Tudor. 

The  poetasters  Hawes  and  Barklay,  and  the  satirists  Roy  and 
Skelton,  have  left  many  effusions  which,  humble  as  their  preten- 
sions may  be  to  literary  excellence,  shed  light  upon  the  history  and 
manners  of  their  times. 

Heywood,  "merry  John  Heywood,"  ever  ready  with  a  jest  or 
epigram,  and  greatly  patronized  by  Henry  VIU.  and  by  Mary,  cre- 
ated a  powerful  and  prevailing  sensation,  by  his  dramatic  and  other 
works,  replete  with  jokes  and  buffoonery.  His  humor  and  satirical 
point  are,  however,  sometimes  exceedingly  effective.  In  these,  and, 
indeed,  m  almost  all  the  qualities  of  dramatic  excellence,  he  greatly 
surpassed  John  Still,  afterward  Bishop  of  Bath  and  Wells,  author 
of  the  earliest  English  comedy.  StilFs  play  of  "  Gammer  Gurton's 
Needle,"  the  most  celebrated  of  his  productions,  is  little  more  than 
a  succession  of  rude  rhymes.  His  style  is  harsh,  his  wit  vulgar, 
and  his  language  coarse.    And  yet  he  enjoyed  a  large  share  of 

popularity. 

The  influence  of  distinguished  continental  scholars  who  visited 
England,  greatly  contributed,  about  this  time,  to  the  cultivation 
of  letters  there. 

The  human  mind,  throughout  Europe,  was  just  then  stimulat;ed 
to  extraordinary  efforts,  by  the  spirit  of  the  Reformation,  which 
had  entered  on  its  tour  of  the  nations.  This  was  the  great  mod- 
em  energizer  of  intellect.  At  first,  it  revived  the  study  of  the 
Latin  and  Greek  classics,  and  thus  laid  a  deep  and  broad  founda- 
tion for  the  noble  fabric  which  rose  in  colossal  grandeur  during  the 
times  of  Queen  Elizabeth  and  James. 

The  reigns  of  Henry  VIII.,  Edward  VI.,  and  Mary,  character- 
ized by  intellectual  conflict  and  social  a^tation,  by  warrmg  of 
creeds  and  wrestlings  with  superstition,  were  times  when  men 
were  prompted  to  utter  the  mind's  profoundest  thoughts,  and  to 
indulge  the  heart's  deepest  feelings.     And  the  prevailing  pcrturba-

tion,  like  the  elemental  conflicts  of  the  tempest,  cleared  the  heay- 
ens  of  clouds,  so  that  the  light  of  truth  shone  gloriously. 

The  extant  writings  of  Cranmer,  Latimer,  and  Ridley,  although 
greatly  differing  in  style  and  manner,  serve,  however,  to  illustrate 
the  earnestness  of  thought  and  masculine  energy  of  diction,  which 
are  the  characteristics  in  common  of  the  Anglican  reformers, — .the 
positive  indications  of  their  one  mind,  and  the  strong  pulses  of 
their  one  heart. 

During  the  first  half  of  the  sixteenth  century,  a  rare  eminence 
was  won  by  a  scholar  who  thought  and  felt  not  as  the  Reformers, 
— Sir  Thomas  More,  for  a  brief  term  among  the  favorites  of 
Henry  VIII.,  and  successor  to  Cardinal  Wolsey,  in  wrong  and 
ruin,  as  well  as  rank.  His  profound  learning  and  rare  gifts  of  in- 
tellect are  discoverable  in  his  theological  treatises,  and  his  history 
of  Edward  V.  and  Richard  III.,  but  most  of  all  in  his  Platonic 
scheme  of  a  perfect  commonwealth,  which  he  entitled  "  Utopia," 
originally  composed  in  Latin,  but  now  extant  in  Bishop  Burnet's 
English  translation  of  it 

Tyndale,  who  also  received  a  death-sentence  from  the  capri- 
cious and  cruel  Henry,  contributed  to  our  literature  the  first 
translation  of  the  New  Testament  from  the  Greek,  in  idiomatic 
English,  and  in  a  remarkably  pure  and  transparent  style. 

Sra  Thomas  Wyatt,  and  Henry  Howard,  Earl  of  Surrey,  de- 
voted personal  fViends,  par  nobile,  both  of  whom  adorned  Henry's 
court  and  shared  his  royal  smiles,  and  whose  poems  are  generally 
printed  together  in  the  same  volume,  were  highly  accomplished 
men,  beautifully  blending  Christian  virtue  and  extraordinary  intel- 
lectual cultivation.  Wyatt's  letters  and  poems,  and  the  poems  of 
his  gallant  and  brilliant  compeer,  fiiU  of  refined  and  delicate  senti- 
ments, are  among  the  choicest  gems  of  our  polite  literature.  It 
was  Surrey,  who  first  introduced  blank  verse  into  our  language. 

Sm  John  Cheke,  the  eminent  classical  scholar,  now  attracted 
general  attention,  by  his  philological  precision,  and  by  his  substi- 
tuting short  for  long,  and  simple  for  involved,  sentences.  His 
tract  on  "Sedition"  presents  these  features  with  great  effect. 

Good  sense  and  pure  English  justly  entitle  Roger  Abcham  to 


A  (Mapier  on  Erhglish  Literature. 

pre-eminence,  among  the  best  writers  of  the  sixteenth  century. 
He  was  Latin  Secretary  to  Edward  VL,  and  classical  preceptor  to 
Queen  Elizabeth  j  and  he  improved  his  favorable  opportunities  at 
Court  and  at  the  Universities,  to  cultivate  our  language  and  con- 
tribute to  our  literature.  His  "Toxophilus"  and  his  "  Schoolmas- 
ter" are  models  of  eariy  English. 

About  the  middle  of  the  sixteenth  century,  the  subject  of  "  good 
and  correct"  English,  appears  to  have  received  more  attention  than 
at  any  previous  time.  Thomas  Wilson's  treatise  on  the  "  Art  of 
Rhetoric,"  and  Webster  Puttknham's  "  Art  of  English  Poetry," 
were  published  then ;  and  their  common  and  extreme  concern  to 
protect  our  language  from  the  infection  of  Latinizing,  and  from 
what  Wilson  calls  "over-sea  language,"  and  Puttenham  styles 
"  ink-horn  terms,"  is  a  proof  that  the  influence  of  such  a  malaria 
was  then  apprehended. 

Ibe  best  age  of  English  literature  had  now  begun, — "great 
Eliza's  golden  time."  And  unsurpassed  among  its  chief  ornaments 
was  Sir  Philip  Sidney,  who  united  in  so  rare  a  manner  the  courtier, 
scholar,  poet,  and  prose  writer,  that  he  was  esteemed  England's 
brightest  gem,  and  Europe's  wonder.  For  the  conceits, — compli- 
ances with  the  corrupt  taste  of  the  age, — ^with  which  his  sonnets 
are  disfigured,  we  are  abundantly  compensated,  by  the  purity  and 
sprightliness,  the  harmony  and  splendor,  of  his  truly  admirable 
prose,  especially  in  his  "  Arcadia,"  and  his  "  Defence  of  Poesy." 

Sackvillb,  author  of  the  first  regular  English  tragedy,  rose  above 
Ms  poetic  rivals,  in  energy  of  diction  and  in  the  moral  tone  of  his 
dramas.  "  The  Mirror  for  Magistrates"  also,  planned  and  in  part 
executed  by  him,  discovers,  in  the  portion  of  it  which  he  furnished, 
a  high  degree  of  the  inspiration  of  true  genius. 

It  was  about  this  period,  that  John  Lyly,  the  Euphuist,  intro- 
duced at  Court  and  in  the  circles  of  fashion  what  he  called  "  pure 
and  reformed  English,"  but  which  in  truth  consisted  of  circumlo- 
cutions, alliterations,  puerile  affectations,  and  an  artificial  play  of 
words,  which  are  justly  ridiculed  by  Shakspeare,  and  which  com- 
mon sense  and  good  taste  very  soon  repudiated. 

Southwell's  religious  poems,  and  Overbury's  poems  and  prose, 


A  Chaj^ter  on  English  Literature,  T 

were  popular  at  the  close  of  the  sixteenth  century ;  but  they  are  com- 
mendable, rather  for  their  didactic  than  their  literary  merit. 
Giles  Fletcher,  too,  was  a  Christian  poet,  but  of  a  higher  rank  ; 
and,  in  his  stanzas  on  Christ's  Victory  and  Triumph,  he  reveals 
some  original  imaginings,  of  which  even  Milton  thought  proper  to 
avail  himself. 

One  of  the  brightest  orbs  in  the  heaven  of  English  poetry  was  now 
culminating:  Spenser,  who,  by  his  Fairie  Queene,  his  Divine 
Hymns,  and  his  other  poems,  was  winning  his  imperishable  fame. 
He  was,  indeed,  a  great  master  of  the  human  mind  and  heart. 
But  it  was  his  misfortune  to  adhere  to  the  earlier  forms,  instead  of 
adopting  the  admitted  improvements  of  our  language ;  and  his 
writings  are  veiled  in  obsolete  words  and  phrases,  which  must  ever 
forbid  their  being  popular  as  English  works.  Yet,  he  stands  aloft 
among  the  minor  poets  of  his  times,  Drayton,  Daniel,  Warner,  and 
T)rummond;  Sylvester  and  Harrington;  Fanshawe,  Gascoigne, 
Lodge,  Southwell,  Davis,  and  Fairfax,  as  the  tall  cypress  among 
shrubs. 

Quantum  lenta  solent  inter  viburna  cupressi. 

By  a  remarkable  coincidence,  Richard  Hooker,  author  of  the 
"  Ecclesiastical  Polity,"  was  born  the  same  year  and  died  the  year 
after  this  great  poet.  His  musical  periods,  felicitously  associating 
good  old  English  with  the  phraseology  and  poetic  imagery  of  the 
ancient  classics,  proclaim  him  the  best  English  prose  writer  of  his  age. 

The  picturesque  and  fervent  Bishop  Joseph  Hall,  and  the  learned 
and  elaborate  Bishop  Launcclot  Andrewes, — although  Hall  was 
among  the  most  popular  writers  of  his  day,  full  of  radiant  thoughts, 
and  Andrewes  was  the  favorite  preacher  at  the  courts  of  Elizabeth 
and  James, — are  very  inferior  in  style  to  the  dignified  and  eloquent 
author  of  the  Polity. 

To  Shakspeare,  who  lived  at  the  same  memorable  period,  must 
of  course  be  accorded  the  first  honors  in  poetry.  In  thought  and 
diction,  he  then  was,  as  he  still  is,  unrivalled, — the  great  master  of 
English  drama,  and  the  most  highly  gifted  of  all  those  who  have 
essayed  to  be  revealers  of  the  secret  workings  of  the  soul.     Peele,

Oreene,  Lodge,  and  Kid ;  Marlow,  Beaumont,  Fletcher ;  Ford,  and 
Massinger ;  popular  dramatists  in  Shakspeare's  time,  do  not  ap- 
proach him.  They  are  without  his  naturalness ;  they  evince  noth- 
ing of  his  Protean  power  of  adaptation ;  and  the  grossness  of  the 
language  of  many  of  them  is  exceedingly  offensive  to  "ears 
polite." 

The  tragedy  of  "Mariam"  by  Lady  Carey;  and  the  "History 
of  the  Civil  Wars,"  and  the  Poems  of  Samuel  Daniel,  the  Atti- 
ous  of  his  day,  are  among  the  works  published  at  this  interesting 
period ;  and  also  the  learned  and  buoyant  prose  and  metaphysical 
and  esoteric  poetry  of  Dr.  Donne  ;  the  picturesque  strains  of 
Drayton,  the  classical  but  cumbrous  dramas  of  Shakspeare's  friend, 
Ben  Jonson  ;  the  miscellaneous  writings  of  the  versatile  Markham  ; 
but,  most  conspicuous  of  all,  the  original  and  masterly  works  of 
the  greatest  of  English  philosophical  writers,  Francis  Bacon. 

During  the  reign  of  Elizabeth,  and  especially  toward  its  close', 
the  press  teemed  with  the  productions  of  pamphleteers,— moral, 
satirical,  controversial,  autobiographical,  and  fictitious  productions, 
whose  name  was  legion.  The  prolific  Robert  Greene, — that 
scourge  of  Puritans,  Thomas  Nash, — and  that  high-stilted  pedant, 
Gabriel  Harvkt,  were  the  most  conspicuous  of  this  pamphleteer- 
ing swarm. 

The  translations  of  the  Scriptures,  especially  the  authorized  ver- 
mon  published  in  1611, — ^with  a  prevailing  regard  to  simplicity  and 
purity  of  diction,  were  important  agents,  in  replenishing  and 
moulding  the  public  mind  and  heart. 

During  the  reign  of  James  I.,  flourished  that  famous  learning- 
monger  and  collector  of  curious  adversaria,  Robert  Boston  ;  and 
also  Richard  Knolles,  author  of  "  The  History  of  the  Turks,"  and 
of  other  works,  to  whom  Dr.  Johnson  and  Hallam  unite  in  accord- 
ing "  the  first  place"  among  English  historians.  And  Raleigh,  the 
accomplished  courtier,  learned  scholar,  and  experienced  navigator, 
who  basked  in  the  smiles  of  Elizabeth  and  withered  under  the 
frown  of  James,  produced,  during  his  imprisonment  in  the  Tower, 
his  "  History  of  the  World,"  the  nervous  and  manly  style  of  which 
is  worthy  of  the  commendation  bestowed  upon  it  by  Hume  and

Warburton.  His  many  treatises  in  prose  possess  great  merit; 
and  his  poems  induced  his  friend  Spenser  to  call  him  the  Summer's 
Nightingale. 

Now  followed  the  era  of  Milton  and  Cowley, — Jeremy  Taylor 
and  Fuller, — Leighton  and  Barrow, — Hales  and  Chillingworth. 

Cowley's  poems,  although  they  won  for  him  a  contemporaneous 
reputation  beyond  that  of  Milton,  are  surpassed  by  his  pure  and 
harmonious  prose.  Milton,  however,  with  his  "ample  pinion," 
now  towers  sublimely  above  his  rival,  and  also  exhibits  greater 
learning  and  ability  as  a  prose  writer.  But,  Taylor's  glowing 
eloquence,  Fuller's  amusing  and  epigrammatic  manner, — the  mo- 
saic of  learning,  genius,  and  piety, — Leighton's  simplicity  and  ma- 
jesty of  thought,  and  Barrow's  power  and  fertility,  proclaim  them 
"  mighty  men,"  in  the  classes  to  which  they  respectively  belong. 

At  this  epoch,  Sandys  wrote  the  most  poetical  of  our  versions 
of  the  Psalms  of  David.  Tate  and  Brady  were  without  excuse, 
while  this  version  existed,  for  taking  into  their  hands  the  harp 
of  the  sweet-singer,  and  for  making  their  rude  effort  to  tune  its 
chords. 

Chillingworth  at  the  same  time,  published  his  celebrated 
"  Religion  of  Protestants ;"  John  Hales,  his  famous  anti-patristic 
"Discourses  on  Schism;"  Quarles,  his  quaint,  but  learned  and 
poetic  emblems;  the  devout  Herbert,  his  Country  Pastor,  and 
his  Sacred  Poems ;  Carew,  his  polished  stanzas ;  Drummond, 
his  naive  Sonnets;  Crashaw  and  PmNEAS  Fletcher, — Habino- 
TON,  Waller,  Lovelace,  Corbet,  Cartwright  and  Randolph, — 
Suckling,  Denham,  Cleveland,  William  Browne,  and  Wither, 
their  various  and  often  delightful  inspirations. 

Herrick,  too,  contributed  his  lyrics,  perfumed  with  the  sweet 
fragrance  of  nature ;  Catharine  Phillips, — ^whom  Jeremy  Taylor 
and  Cowley  so  admired  and  honored, — her  moral  and  religious 
strams;  Davenant,  his  heroic  poem,  "Gondibert;"  and  the 
Duchess  of  Newcastle,  her  various  and  voluminous  works,  in 
which  imagination  unfortunately  transcends  sound  judgment  and 
good  taste,  and  which  present  a  strong  contrast  to  the  writings  of 
Anne  Killigrew,  whose  praises  Dryden  celebrates.

Clarendon,  Milton's  contemporary,  the  years  of  their  birth  and 
death  corresponding  precisely,  imparted  to  his  "  History  of  the 
Rebellion"  a  peculiar  attraction,  arising  from  its  life-like  portrai- 
tures of  the  master-spirits  of  that  stirring  time.  Sir  Matthew 
Hale,  too,  now  wrote  his  moral  and  religious  "  Contemplations," 
which  were  destined  to  mould  the  character  of  Washington ;  and 
now  Owen  Feltham  penned  his  religious  essays,  rivalling  the  Con- 
templations of  Hale,  in  profound  thought  and  divine  wisdom. 
Marvell,  the  pure  and  unflattering  patriot,  the  affectionate  friend 
of  Milton,  the  admiration  and  the  scourge  of  Charles  U.  and  his 
licentious  Court,  mdited  fearlessly  his  withermg  sarcasms,  and  bold 
invectives. 

Sir  Thomas  Browne,  John  Bunyan,  Richard  Baxter,  Robert 
Barclay,  Samuel  Butler,  and  Izaak  Walton,  a  constellation 
above  the  horizon  at  this  time,  illustrate  remarkable  phases  of  the 
political  and  .social,  as  well  as  literary,  character  of  their  day  and 
nation ;  Browne,  the  pedantic ;  Bunyan,  the  allegorical ;  Baxter,  the 
religious ;  Butler,  the  sarcastic ;  and  Walton,  the  devout  and  con- 
templative. Brown's  Vulgar  Errors,  Religio  Medici,  and  Hydrio- 
taphia, — Bunyan's  Pilgrim's  Progress, — ^Baxter's  Saints'  Rest,  and 
Call  to  the  Unconverted, — ^Barclay's  Apology  for  the  Quakers, — 
Butler's  Hudibras,— and  Walton's  Lives,  and  Complete  Angler, 
are  eminently  suggestive  of  prevailing  states  of  mind,  at  the  period 
of  Cromwell  and  Charles  IL 

The  year  of  Bacon's  death,  (1626,)  was  that  when  the  Christian 
philosopher  Boyle  was  bom.  And  he  and  Halley,  with  their 
learned  associates  in  the  Royal  Society  of  London,  and  a  bright 
host  of  other  comparatively  inferior  orbs,  conspired  with  Sir  Isaac 
Nbwton,  "  then:  bright  particular  star,"  to  shed  a  flood  of  light 
upon  physical  and  mathematical  science.  Boyle  treated  also  suc- 
cessfully of  morals ;  and  Newton  sought  to  penetrate  the  sealed 
mysteries  of  the  Apocalypse. 

At  the  period  of  the  Revolution,  (1688,)  Bishop  Burnet  contin- 
ued to  publish  his  histories,  sermons,  tracts,  and  numerous  pam- 
phlets, impromptu  and  carelessly  composed  pieces,  valuable  for 
their  fects,  but  without  merit  as  literary  productions.

Stillingfleet  and  Bull  were  among  the  great  theologians  of 
those  days,  mighty  men,  men  of  renown.  Tillotson  and  South 
were  the  popular  preachers :  one,  perspicuous  and  graceful ;  the 
other,  ingenious  and  vigorous.  Vaughan  was,  at  the  same  time, 
inditing  his  poetic  strains,  and  writing  his  far  better  prose  works, 
which  not  unfrequently  rival,  in  the  music  of  their  resounding  pe- 
riods,  the  style  of  Sir  William  Temple,  then  in  the  bloom  of  his 

popularity. 

Dryden  had  already  created  a  new  era,  by  the  freedom,  vigor, 
and  full  harmony  of  his  verse,  and  by  the  energy,  precision,  and 
finish  of  his  prose ;  greatly  surpassing  in  those  characteristics  all 
his  predecessors.  His  portraits  of  celebrated  dramatists  are  mas- 
ter-pieces  and  models  of  their  kind ;  and  his  latest  works,  written 
after  the  Revolution,  are  not  inferior  to  the  best  of  all  he  wrote  be- 
fore that  epoch. 

Among  metaphysicians,  Locke  then  stood  pre-eminent.  His 
Essays  on  the  Human  Understanding,  on  the  Reasonableness  of 
Christianity,  and  on  Civil  Government,  Education,  Miracles,  and 
the  Epistles  of  St.  Paul,  have  long  exerted  a  wide-spread  influence 

upon  society. 

From  the  Rebellion  until  the  middle  of  the  eighteenth  century, 
during  the  successive  reigns  of  William  and  Mary,  Anne,  and  the 
first  two  Georges,  appeared  a  bright  succession  of  prose  writers, 
and  of  eminently  favored  sons  of  song.  Conspicuous  among  these 
are  Parnell,  Addison,  Prior,  Atterbury,  Steele,  and  Gay  ;  Ar- 
BUTHNOT,  TiCKELL,  and  Swift  ;  Thomson,  Collins,  Shenstone,  Sav- 
age, Robert  Blair,  Dyer,  and  Hamilton  ;  but,  most  highly  gifted 
of  the  muses,  and  facile  princeps,  Alexander  Pope. 

Mrs.  RowE  also,  and  Watts,  and  Young,  added  their  religious 
strains.  And  with  various  and  for  the  most  part  valuable  contri- 
butions,  chiefly  in  prose,  came  Berkeley,  Sherlock,  William 
Penn,  and  Doddridge  ;  Lady  Montagu,  with  her  sprightly,  but 
too  often  gossiping  letters ;  Lady  Russell,  with  hers  of  a  moral 
and  devout  strain ;  and  Conyers  Middleton,  with  his  learned  das- 

sical  productions. 

Now  were  displayed  the  fruits  of  the  original  and  popular  Dk

F6«'8  almost  incredible  fertility;  the  novels  of  that  magician  in 
swaying  the  tender  passion,  Samuel  Eichabdson  ;  the  philological 
and  classical  works  of  Bentlet,  the  Magnus  Apollo  of  his  age ; 
the  voluminous  publications  of  Dodsley,  author  and  bookseller ; 
liie  Letters  and  Philosophical  Writings  of  the  infidel  Bolingbboee, 
and,  in  bold  contrast,  the  works  of  our  Defender  of  the  Faith,  the 
profound  and  original  Joseph  Butler. 

Less  than  a  hundred  years  ago,  many  of  our  most  popular  mod- 
em poets  and  prose  writers  began  to  assemble,  as  if  summoned  to 
a  feast  of  the  dii  majorum  gentium,  until,  in  our  day,  their  respec- 
tive places  were  occupied  at  the  great  symposium :  the  poets  Gray 
and  Goldsmith,  Mason  and  Armstrong,  Chatterton  and  Falcon- 
BR,  Akenside  and  Warton,  Mickle  and  Percy,  Burns  and  Cow- 
F£R,MACPHERSONand  Beattie; — the  historians  Hume  and  Smollett, 
Robertson  and  Gibbon  ;  the  essayists  Johnson  and  Hawkesworth  ; 
the  orators  Chatham  and  Burke  ;  the  jurists  Mansfield  and  Black- 
stone;  the  oriental  scholars  Sir  William  Jones,  and  Bishop 
Lowth  ;  the  novelists  Fielding,  and  Mackenzie  ;  the  metaphysi- 
cians Hartley  and  Adam  Smith,  Reid  and  Kames,  Price  and 
Priestley  ;  the  theologians  Warburton  and  Middleton,  Hurd  and 
HoRNE,  JoRTiN  and  Lardner,  Law  and  Foster,  Whitefield  and 
Wesley,  Hugh  Blair  and  Dr.  Campbell,  Farmer  and  Leland, 
Paley  and  Watson,  Porteus  and  Horsley,  Robert  Hall  and 
Foster,  Adam  Clarke  and  Thomas  Chalmers. 

To  repeat  only  the  names  of  others  congregated  at  this  festival, 
such  as  Darwin  and  White,  Grahame  and  Crabbe,  Rogers  and 
Wordsworth,  Coleridge  and  Southey,  Lamb  and  Campbell ;  Byron 
and  Moore;  Shelley  and  Keats,  Heber  and  Pollok,  James  and 
Robert  Montgomery,  Hunt  and  Bernard  Barton,  Croly  and  Mil- 
man  ;  and  to  repeat  the  names  of  dramatists,  novelists,  historians, 
biographers,  travellers,  scientific  writers,  political  economists,  met- 
aphysidans,  naturalists,  divines,  reviewers,  essayists,  lecturers,  and 
miscellaneous  writers,  as  they  still  continue  to  present  themselves, 
would  be  a  task  not  to  be  completed, — ^the  labor  of  Sisyphus, 

The  stores  of  English  Literature  enable  us  to  see,  however,  what 
has  been  done,  and  what  may  yet  be  done. 


A  Chwpter  on  English  Literature.

In  view  of  the  various  contributions  to  it,  made  in  our  day,  it  is 
a  pleasing  thought  that  our  language  has  acquired  fresh  energy  and 
increased  resources,  in  the  styles  of  Alison,  Hazlitt,  JeflEbey,  D'ls- 
raeli,  Landor,  Macaulay,  and  De  Quincey.  And  abundant  and 
cheering  proofs  are  afforded,  of  important  accessions,  made  in 
Great  Britain,  to  the  means  of  the  mental  and  moral  progress  of 

our  race. 

Our  scholars  of  America,  moreover,  rapidly  attaining  excellence 
in  every  department  of  letters  and  science,  bid  fair  to  be  at  least 
unsurpassed  by  any  other  writers  of  our  language.  But  our  schol- 
ars who  would  contribute  to  the  nation's  true  glory  in  literature, 
should  beware  of  that  servile  imitation,  which  not  only  has  de- 
spoiled  some  of  our  countrymen  of  the  best  rewards  of  merit,  but 
is  unworthy  of  the  free  spirit  of  the  New  World.  Impeded  or 
restrained  by  an  undue  deferential  conformity  to  the  manner  of 
Anglican  standard  authors,  they  have  not  indulged  that  ample 
range  and  original  boldness,  that  fearless  resort  to  what  is  national, 
present,  popular,  and  practical,  which  is  the  proper  material  of 
American  literature,  and  the  most  suitable  drapery  of  American 

thought. 

There  are,  however,  distinct  indications  on  every  side,  that  the 
genius  of  our  country  aims  at  a  lofly  flight.  What  has  been  done 
by  us  hitherto,  should  be  regarded  but  as  rudimental  and  incipi- 
ent,— the  pluming  of  the  eagle's  wing. 

There  is  a  bounding  buoyancy,  in  all  that  is  American,  which 
cannot  fail  to  indicate,  even  to  the  casual  observer,  the  future  that 
is  awaiting  us.  The  tide,  all  men  see  it,  is  setting  strongly.  It  is 
full  of  power.  And  it  is  guided  by  an  unseen,  but  benevolent  and 
resistless  influence. 

The  general  characteristics  of  the  American  mind  are  marked. 
They  exhibit  a  prevailing  disregard  of  mere  conventionalities,  and 
a  blending  of  modes  of  thought  and  forms  of  speech,  derived  from 
various  nations,  by  means  of  immigration  and  commercial  inter- 
course. The  operation  of  political,  social,  and  physical  causes,  for 
more  than  half  a  century,  has  created  as  distinct  an  independence 
of  the  American  mind  as  of  the  American  nation.  The  new  thoughts 


14 


A  Chapieir  oti  English  IdteratwrB. 


new  feelings,  new  aspirations,  and  new  impulses  of  our  New  World, 
have  prepared  the  way  for  a  new  literature.  The  grand  propor- 
tions and  the  boundless  resources  of  our  continent ;  our  mountain 
ranges,  and  our  rivers,  lakes,  waterfalls,  prairies,  and  forests,  all 
suggest  thoughts  of  a  magnitude  and  extent  transcending  those  asso- 
ciated  with  the  scenery  and  the  limits  of  the  sea-girt  isle  of  our  An- 
glican  forefathers. 

From  the  very  epoch  of  our  country's  first  settlement,  extraor- 
dinary  and  powerful  influences  have  been  in  active  operation,  pre- 
paring  for  a  new  national  literature,  with  distinctive  characteristics 
arising  ftom  novel  conditions  of  social  and  civil  life,  and  from  pe- 
culiar national  institutions  and  events. 

Among  the  writers  of  our  colonial  period  were  not  a  few,  who 
were  led  by  the  existing  circumstances  of  their  case,  to  exhibit  a 
depth  of  feeling  and  an  energy  of  diction  that  are  remarkable. 
Such  were  John  Cotton,  Hooker,  Increase  and  Cotton  Mather, 
Roger  Williams,  Logan,  Colden,  Blair,  and  Edwards.  Our  Revo- 
lutionary period  also  associates  with  it  the  names  of  Dickinson, 
Paine,  Ramsay,  Pickering,  Adams,  Jefferson,  Otis,  Rush,  Drayton, 
Ames,  Madison,  Jay,  and  especially  Hamilton.  Franklin  and  Rit- 
lenhouse  had  already  led  the  way  in  philosophical  studies;  and 
Trumbull,  Freneau,  Brackenridge,  Humphreys,  the  Hopkinsons, 
Parke,  Sewall,  Hopkins,  Dwight,  and  Barlow  appeared  among  our 
new  nation's  earliest  poets. 

From  the  period  of  the  Revolution  to  the  present  time,  other 
bright  names  have  continually  been  added  to  the  lists  of  our  histo- 
rians, poets,  novelists,  biographers,  orators,  divines,  and  writers  in 
the  departments  of  politics,  science,  the  arts,  and  belles  Icttres.  It 
might  be  deemed  an  inexcusable  omission,  not  to  point  out,  as  rep- 
resentatives of  distinct  classes  of  these, — Calhoun,  Everett,  Choate, 
Bryant,  Halleck,  Bancroft,  Lossing,  Ticknor,  Prescott,  Dana,  Long- 
feUow,  Paulding,  Cooper,  Simms,  and  Irving.  Any  such  selection 
would,  however,  be  invidious,  were  not  these  regarded,  in  this  des- 
ignation,  merely  as  representatives  of  distinct  classes.  But  we  cher- 
ish a  genial  sentiment  of  national  pride,  on  finding  the  merits  of 
these,  as  well  as  many  others  of  our  literary  men,  more  and  more

commended  by  foreign  critics  and  reviewers,  and  see  them  take 
their  assigned  high  places  in  Fame's  temple. 

Around  one,  however,  singularly  gifted,  all  Americans  may, 
without  the  apprehension  of  awakening  an  invidious  feeling,  gather ; 
and  cherish  national  sympathies,  while  they  celebrate  his  merits. 
Statesman,  patriot,  orator,  scholar,  sage, — illustrious  Webster,  thy 
voluminous  writings,  replete  with  profound  maxims  of  practical 
wisdom,  and  with  exhaustless  stores  of  useful  knowledge, — breath- 
ing, throughout,  pure  sentiments  of  morality,  and  gemmed  with 
alluring  embellishments  of  thought  and  feeling,  are  a  legacy, — ^a 
sacred  legacy, — which  the  nation  cannot  value  at  too  high  a  price. 

A  happy  illustration  of  the  best  characteristics  of  our  truly  na- 
tional literature,  and  a  model  for  the  study  of  our  literary  men,  are 
afforded  by  the  writings  of  this  accomplished  author.  His  manly 
bearmg,  bold  step,  and  fearless  progress,  in  the  expression  of  his 
thoughts  and  feelings,  are  in  harmony  with  all  that  is  peculiarly 
American, — ^physically,  politically,  and  socially.  And  as  his  Ian 
guage  sometimes  flows  with  the  copious  and  majestic  current  of 
our  noble  rivers,  or  dashes  on  with  the  impetuosity  of  our  mighty 
cataracts,  or  arrays  itself  in  successive  courses  of  argument,  like  the 
mountain  chains  that  traverse  and  bind  together  the  States  of  our 
Union,  he  is  the  impersonation  of  a  grandeur,  which  is  as  incapable 
of  servile  imitation,  as  the  spirit  of  America  is  of  vassalage,  and 
which,  while  we  contemplate  it  with  the  profoundest  admiration, 
we  should  regard  as  a  model,  in  the  efforts  we  make  to  accomplish 
our  appointed  national  destiny,  in  literature  as  well  as  in  politics. 


BIBLESt 


I 


[As  Holt  Scripture  contains  all  things  necessary  to  salvation,  and  teaches  the 
only  true  philosophy  of  all  science,  human  and  divine;  and  as  no  list  of  books 
that  we  can  provide  can  be  complete,  and  no  Christian  can  be  "  thoroughly  fur- 
nished," without  a  copy  of  the  sacred  volume,  we  preface  our  series  of  libraries 
with  choice  editions  of  the  Bible,  for  parochial,  family,  and  private  use.  The  in- 
terpreter of  life's  mysteries,  uttering  God's  "  lively  oracles,"  this  Book  of  books 
instructs  and  cheers  the  Christian  in  his  walk  of  faith,  and  influences  with  a 
gladdening  light  and  genial  warmth  all  that  is  about  his  path  and  about  his  dwell- 
ing, preceding  and  furthering  nature's  efforts,  and  inspiring  and  assisting  her  in 
the  most  beautiful  of  her  intellectual  and  moral  developments. 

Despoiled  of  the  pure  delights  and  elevating  emotions  created  by  the  Word  of 
€k)d,  our  life  is  cheerless,  the  earth  is  without  its  flowers,  and  the  heavens  with- 
out their  stars ;  our  pilgrimage  is  a  tedious  journey  without  refreshment,  and 
the  last  act  of  man's  sublunary  existence  is  a  mere  closing  of  the  eyes,  without 
the  tranquillizing  assurance,  that  "  if  he  sleep,  he  shall  do  well." 

Blessed  are  they,  who,  journeying  with  "the  Church  in  the  wilderness,"  and 
walking  with  her  by  the  light  of  the  divinely  appointed  Shekinah,  are  safely  con- 
ducted to  the  better  country,  the  glorious  inheritance  of  the  people  of  God ; 
and,  having  finished  their  course  in  faith,  lie  down  to  rest  from  their  labors,  en- 
joying Gospel  consolations,  and  enlivened  with  the  hope  of  a  blessed  immortality.]

Gospel  penitence  and  faith,  and  in  the  use  of  Sacraments  and  services,  ask.  What

/oy."    This  tract  is  by  Bishop  Potter,  of  New  York.

SHELTON,  F.  W.,  Rev.— Peeps  FROM  A  Belfry;  or.  The  Parish  Sketch 
Book.    12mo.    pp.  304.    75  cents. 

"  It  is  literally  a  Parish  Sketch  Book.  Where  the  author  has  got  his  "  peeps" 
from — whether  the  belfry  of  his  church,  or  the  attic  window  of  his  parsonage — 
matters  little.  He  has  got  them  ;  he  has  conveyed  them  to  his  canvas  with  artis- 
tic skill  and  they  may  be  contemplated,  we  are  persuaded,  by  young  and  old,  with 
both  pleasure  and  profit." — Churchman. 

"  The  author  of  this  book  invests  his  thoughts  with  a  peculiarly  graceful  and 
lucid  style ;  the  tone  of  his  mind  is  pure  and  healthy,  his  reflections  are  rarely 
otherwise  than  just  and  discriminating,  and  in  all  that  he  does  there  is  that  touch 
of  nature  which  makes  the  whole  world  feel  akin  to  him.  The  sketches  and  es- 
says which  are  gathered  into  this  volume,  are  such  as  might  naturally  be  the 
result  of  the  experience  of  a  parish  priest,  and  doubtless  are  expansions  of  memo- 
randa in  their  author's  journal.  They  will  be  read  with  pleasure  by  all  who  can 
appreciate  simplicity,  truth,  and  elegance." — JV.  Y.  Gmrier  S  inquirer.

author  writes  also,  under  the  influence  of  the  conviction,  that  "  Poetry  should 
never  be  separated  from  truth,  and,  even  under  the  wildest  masque  or  the  most 
insignificant  sjmbol,  should  exhibit  or  intimate  only  what  the  mind,  at  some  time

\*  The  LUt  of  Booh9  far  the  Library  of  a  Parish  Minister,  affords  to  the 
warm-hearted  Christian  layman  a  facility  in  bestowing  upon  many  a  hard- 
working clergyman,  of  scanty  means,  a  benefit,  than  which  none  other 
could  be  more  highly  esteemed.  Year  after  year,  perhaps,  he  has  longed 
for  the  rich  treasures  of  learning  and  thought,  and  devout  expresdon,  to  be 
found  in  the  Works  of  the  Fathers,  and  of  the  early  and  later  divines  of  the 
Church  of  England;  and,  year  after  year,  he  has  had  to  struggle  with  the 
want  of  all  things  temporal,  and  to  supply  hhnself  with  spiritual  and  intel- 
lectual helps  as  best  ho  might.  What  wonder  if  his  sermons  have  some- 
times been  meagre  and  unsatisfactory  ?  What  more  could  he  have  done 
under  the  circumstances?  Let  every  critical  hearer  think  of  this,  and  see 
whether  he  has  held  up  the  hands  and  strengthened  the  heart  of  his  Pastor, 
as  he  might  have  done.

MISCELLANEOUS    WORKS, 


RECREATIVE  AND  REPLENISHING, 


[This  list  is  not  to  be  regarded  as  a  guide  to  a  Course  of  Reading.  It  is  simply 
a  selection  of  books,  from  the  departments  of  History,  Travels,  Biography,  Natu- 
ral Science,  Poetry,  Polite  Literature,  and  Fiction,  calculated  to  diversify  a  theolo- 
gian's intellectual  pursuits,  to  recreate  his  mind,  after  serious  and  severe  studies, 
and  to  suggest  hints  and  furnish  illustrations,  which  may  afford  him  agreeable  re- 
laxation, while  they  open  to  him  an  ample  treasure  of  facts  and  embellishments. 

It  is  of  course  impossible,  in  any  list,  to  anticipate  the  wishes  of  those,  whose 
mental  predilections,  special  aptitudes,  and  collateral  pursuits,  would  naturally 
lead  to  a  preference  of  works  which  may  not  be  found  here.  In  regard  to  all  such 
cases,  we  say,  "  Si  quid  novisti  rectius  istis,  candidus  imperti." — ^Hor.]

From  iha  Preface  to  the  IWst  Edition, 

It  is  a  waste  of  time  to  copy  passa^s  from  authors  whom  we  may  consult 
when  we  please.  What,  then,  is  the  use  of  a  Common-Place  Book?  Little,  or 
none,  for  such  a  purpose.  But,  if  we  may  always  read  the  passages  we  deem 
important,  in  a  printed  volume,  as  well  as  in  our  own  hand-writing,  can  we  al- 
ways ^^  just  the  passages  we  want?  No,  most  truly,  as  many  have  experienced 
to  their  sorrow  and  vexation.  "  ^  f 

*  .^^'^•m?  **'^  ^^^  i"  fi"<J»ng  s"ch  passas^os,  is  the  simple  and  benevolent  design, 
of  the  "  Theological  Coniinpn-Place  Book."  Its  chief  use  is  to  consist  in  becom- 
ing a  ffenerai  mdex  to  the  passages  to  which  a  Theologian  may  wish  to  preserve  a 
clue.  It  IS  intended,  not  for  a  reservoir  of  mere  extracts,  hut  for  a  reservoir  of 
references.  Instead  of  making  a  reference  on  the  blank  leaves  of  a  book,  where 
it  may  be  forgotten,  or  on  loose  scraps  of  paper,  which  may  be  misplaced,  or  lost 
with  this  volume  at  hand,  one  can  place  it  where  it  will  be  safelv  pre.served  and 
dwavs  tangible.  So  far,  therefore,  will  this  volume  be  from  consuming  time,  that 
It  will  help  greatly  to  economize  it.  No  one  can  read  srstematically  and  carefully 
m  a  science  of  such  wide  extent  and  uncounted  relations  as  Theology,  and  not 
accumulate  references.  How  shall  they  be  laid  up  so  as  to  be  producible  at  a  mo- 
ment s  warning,  amid  a  rapid  career  of  thought,  and  before  the  vigor  gathered 
and  concentrated  for  the  toil  of  composition,  shall  (as  matter  much  less  ethereal 
18  said  to  do)  make  itself  wings  and  flv  away?  To  the  faithful  and  devoted  stu- 
dent, who  knows  the  value  of  time,  and  the  "  weariness  of  the  flesh,"  in  hunting 
for  authorities,  this  is  a  very  practical  and  serious  question.  To  such  an  one  this 
volume.  It  IS  thought,  must  supply  an  important  deficiency  in  the  apparatus  of 
study,  and,  it  is  hoped,  will  be  found  adequate  to  his  wants. 

There  are  also  one  or  two  purposes,  well  worth  consideration,  which  the  use 
of  this  book  may  indirectly  promote. 

•  It  may  help  a  student  gradually  to  systematize  his  acquirements.  He  cannot 
enter  a  reference,  under  a  particular  head,  without  recording  mentally  the  bearine 
and  design  of  the  subject  which  has  sugijested  it,  in  connection  with  some  otherT 
—perhaps  with  many.  The  habit  of  observing  relations,  and  impressing  them' 
on  the  mmd,  is  invaluable.  It  is  a  tact  to  which  philosophers  have  not  unfre- 
quently  owed  their  eminence. 

The  mere  turning  over  the  pages  of  this  index,  and  pausing  here  and  there 
upon  titles  which  cover  them,  will  not  be  without  its  advantage.  It  will  teach  a 
student  that  which,  in  this  era  and  country,  it  is  so  necessary  for  him  to  perceive 
With  clearness  and  feel  with  force,  the  comprehensiveness  or  Theology.

AN  ORDER  FOR  A  SECOND  EVENING  SERVICE  IN  THE 
CHURCHES  IN  THE  DIOCESE  OF  NEW  JERSEY;  %6t 
forth  hy  the  Bishop.     16mo,  Uoan^  gilt  edges^  62  cents. 

From.  t}ie  Church  Review. 

"  This  order  is  essentially  that  which  has  long  been  used  in  Connecticut  as  a 
Third  Service ;  except  that  it  begins  with  the  Lord's  Prayer,  and  that  after  the 
Lesson,  the  Magiiijicat  or  the  Aunc  Dimlttls  may  be  used,  and  the  addition  of  a 
few  resiponsive  petitions  after  the  Creed,  and  the  substitution  of  the  last  Prayer 
in  the  Institution  Office  for  the  Prayer  for  the  Church  Militant.  The  book  is  neatly 
got  up.  We  hear,  already,  of  very  liberal  interpretations  practically  put  upon  the 
resolutions  of  the  Bishops,  at  the  last  General  Convention,  on  the  part  of  some  of 
the  clergy  of  the  Church,  which  we  hope  will  be  anticipated  and  held  in  check  by 
just  sucii  prescriptions  as  this." 

From  the  Church  Journai. 

"  The  New  Jersey  Order  for  a  Second  Evening  Services,  set  forth  by  the  Bishop, 
is  a  decided  improvement  over  what  is  commonly  known  as  the  New  York  Tfiird 
Service.  It  begins  with  the  Lord's  Prayer,  omitting  the  sentences,  the  *  Dearly 
Beloved,'  Confession  and  Absolution,  and  in  this  corresponding  with  all  the  older 
services.  After  the  Lord's  Prayer,  (and  again  after  the  CreedJ  we  have  restored 
to  us  some  of  those  versicles  which  are  yet  retained  in  the  English  Book,  but 
were  dropped  out  of  ours  at  the  revision.  Then  follows  any  one  of  our  present  four 
Evening  Canticles.  Next,  one  of  the  Ten  selections  of  Psalms.  Then,  any  Scrip- 
ture lesson' the  Minister  may  select.  After  which  the  Ma^nifimt,  or  the  Benedic- 
tm  ^unabridujed),  or  the  Nunc  I>imUtis,  all  of  which  we  rejoice  to  see,  in  the  form 
familiar  to  all  the  children  of  our  Mother  Church.  After  the  Nicene  Creed,  fol- 
lows the  lesser  Litany, as  in  the  English  Book,  substituting  "our rulers"  for  "the 
Queen."  The  final  prayers  are.  The  Collects  for  the  Day,  for  Peace,  and  for  aid 
against  Perils ;  then  the  last  Prayer  in  the  Institution  Office,  and  the  minor  bene- 
diction. The  Ten  Selections  of  Psalms,  pointed  for  chanting,  and  the  Collects 
throughout  the  year,  are  added  to  this  volume.  Also,  Hymns  from  Holy  Scrip- 
ture, pointed  for  chanting,  for  the  various  seasons  of  the'Church  year.  (We  are 
sorry  that  for  Whitsunday,  the  Bible  version  of  the  Psalms  has  been  employed, 
instead  of  that  in  the  Prayer  Book,  with  which  Churchmen  are  so  much  more 
familiar.)  The  Collects  at  the  end  of  the  Communion  Office  close  this  volume, 
which  is  the  best  Third  Service  noiv  a/oaUatilefor  ordinary  use.  The  Bishop  of  New 
Jersey  appoints  it  to  be  used  '  In  churches  where  Morning  Prayer,  the  Litany, 
the  Ante-Communion  service,  and  Evening  Prayer,  have  been  said.' "

"  There  is  no  doubt  that  in  arranging  her  public  services,  the  Church  has  sought 
both  *  unison^  and  completeness.  That  while  there  is  a  distinctness  of  tone,  a  cer- 
tain kej-note  for  each  season  of  Festival  and  Fast,  so  also,  that  the  whole  cycle 
shall  comprise  all  the  great  truths,  doctrines,  and  duties  of  our  holy  religion.  It 
is  a  beautiful  conception,  and  one  of  great  wisdom.  Mr.  Giffbrd  has  illustrated 
this  characteristic  in  the  appointed  services  from  Advent  to  Ash  Wednesday." 

Ermn  ^  Go»pd  Messenger. 

"Early  last  year  we  received  a  few  specimen  pages  of  this  work,  which  we  spoke 
of  in  terms  of  strong  commendation.  We  have  often  thought  of  the  work  since 
that  time,  and  longed  for  its  appearance  in  a  complete  form.  The  volume  before 
us  embraces  the  season  from  Advent  to  Ash  Wednesday.  The  author  exhibits  the 
harmony  of  the  subject  contained  in  the  Collect  for  each  Sunday,  with  the  Epistle, 
the  Gospel,  and  the  Lessons  for  that  day,  and  of  its  accordance  with  a  correspond- 
ing topic  in  the  Church  Catechism  and  in  her  articles  of  religion.  The  work  will 
be  found  valuable  to  all  Churchmen,  particularly  to  those  of  the  clergy  who  desire 
to  prepare  their  discourses  on  Sunday  with  reference  to  the  topic  presented  in  the 
Lessons,  etc.,  for  the  day."

"  This  is  a  carefully  prepared  work  on  the  harmony  of  the  Prayer  Book.  It  is

amply  illustrated  by  the  Holy  Scriptures.  The  commentary  on  the  Epistles,  Gos-

OUR  CHURCH  MUSIC— ^  Book  for  Pastors  and  People. 
By  Richard  Storrs  Wilus.     l2mo,,  138  pages. 

Price.  50  cents. 

The  Church  has  a  good  right  to  look  to  Mr.  Richard  S.  Willis,  as 
being,  perhaps,  of  all  our  youthful  native  musicians,  the  one  of  whom 
she  may  expect  the  most  true  hearted  and  efficient  service.  His  train- 
ings however  scientific,  has  not  been  that  which  would  qualify  him 
the  most  readily  for  usefulness  in  this  field :  but  there  is  an  earnest 
devotion  of  spirit,  a  reaching  forth  after  the  deep  and  the  true,  a 
growing  strength  and  manliness,  exercised  and  made  firm  by  a  steady 
industry,  which  promise  the  best  results.  He  has  just  issued  a  neat 
little  volume  on  Our  Church  Music,  a  Book  for  Pastors  and  People, 
which  is  the  best  and  most  thoughtful  practical  essay  that  has  for  a 
long  time  appeared  among  us.  Church  JoumaL 


Were  it  not  for  the  copyright  on  this  admirable  book,  we  should 
be  compelled  to  transfer  large  portions  of  it  to  our  pages.  As  it  is, 
we  hope  to  give,  hereafter,  some  specimens  of  it,  and  in  the  mean 
time,  cordially  recommend  it  for  its  interest  and  the  usefulness  of  its 
suggestions.  JSpiscopal  Recorder, 

Many  of  the  articles  collected  in  this  pleasant  and  thoughtfnl 
volume  have  been  already  published  in  our  columns ;  and  we  are  glad 
to  know  that  they  have  attracted  that  attention  among  our  readers 
which  they  deserve.  The  series  is  now  completed,  by  the  addition  of 
others,  not  so  well  adapted  to  a  journal  like  this,  because  requiring 
diagrams,  etc^  to  illustrate  them,  but  harmonious  with  those  in  tone 
and  teaching,  and  equally  rich  in  useful  suggestions.  Mr.  Willis  has 
brought  the  finest  musical  cultivation  of  Europe  to  assist  him  in  his 
task,  but  has  never  allowed  his  artistic  taste  and  knowledge  to  over- 
lay and  smother  his  native  good  sense,  or  his  instinctive  perception 
of  what  is  demanded  in  true  church  music  We  have  found  his 
writings  on  this  subject  instructive  and  quickening;  the  more  so,  per- 
haps, because  our  own  half-formed  thoughts  have  often  been  brought 
back  to  us  by  him,  more  fully  and  clearly  expressed  than  they  had 
been  to  ourselves,  and  clothed  with  the  authority  that  belongs  to  one 
who  is  so  rapidly  becoming  a  recognised  Master  in  his  chosen  depart* 
ment.  Independent,

THE  EPISTLE  TO  THE  GALATIANS,  in  Greek  and  EnglUh,  with 
an  Analysis  and  Exegetical  Cormnentary,  By  the  Bev.  Samuel 
H.  TuBNKR,  J).  B.    8^0,  88  centi, 

•  Ihmi  ih9  North  American  JSeview, 

**  We  can  hardlj  conceire  of  a  nicer  mntaal  equilibrium  than  exists  in  his  mind 
between  reverence  and  learning,  faith  and  freedom,  loyalty  to  the  voice  of  revela- 
ation  an^  fearless  inquiry  as  to  what  that  voice  actually  utters  and  means.  The 
Epistle  to  the  Gulatiaus  is  on  many  accounts  the  most  difficult  of  analysis  among 
the  Apostolic  writings.  The  reasons  why  it  was  written,  and  the  condition  of 
those  to  whom  it  was  addressed,  are,  for  the  most  part,  to  be  deduced  from  the 
letter  itself.  It  is  also  as  important  as  it  is  difficult.  Historically,  it  cut  Chris- 
tianity loose  from  Judaism,  and  was  its  virtual  declaration  of  independence ;  and 
dogmatically,-it  develops  the  subjective  character  of  the  Christian  salvation  with 
a  clearness  and  emphasis  of  statement  hardly  approached  elsewhere.  It  is  enough 
to  say,  that  Dr.  Turner's  analysis  is  such  as  to  enable  every  reader  to  follow  con- 
tinuously the  course  of  St.  Paul's  invective,  argument,  and  exhortation,  while  his 
Commentary  discusses  every  exegetical  question  with  a  thoroughness  seldom  wit- 
nessed this  side  of  Germany,  and  with  a  soundness  of  judgment  scarce  ever  mani- 
fested there, — on  almost  every  portion  of  the  text  presenting  an  interpretation 
consonant  equally  with  the  prima  fade  import  of  the  Apostle's  language,  the  train 
of  his  thought,  and  the  analogy  of  his  other  epistles,  especially  that  to  the  Romans, 
which  offers  numerous  points  of  parallelism  with  that  to  the  Galatians." 

From  the  Oong^regationoHist. 

"  It  is  a  good  feature  of  our  time  that  so  much  attention  is  given  to  a  critical 
study  of  the  original  Scriptures,  and  that  so  many  of  our  best  scholars  are  prepar- 
ing commentaries  on  portions  of  the  Bible.  Dr.  Turner  is  one  of  our  very  best 
scholars,  writing  always  with  a  thorough  understanding  of  the  literature  of  his 
theme,  with  learning,  discretion,  candor,  and  cordial  sympathy  with  the  truth  as 
it  is  in  Jesus.  It  has  been  remarked  by  some  of  our  most  experienced  teachers  of 
sacred  philology,  that  to  the  young  student  of  exegesis,  especially,  he  is  one  of  our 
most  valuable  writers. 

"  This  work  on  the  Galatians  is  brief  and  modest,  yet  laden  with  the  fruits  of 
ripe  scholarship.  In  less  than  one  hundred  octavo  pages,  the  Epistle  is  discussed 
more  ably,  and  with  more  entire  exhaustion  of  its  difficulties,  than  would  have 
been  accomplished  by  some  other  writers  in  twice  or  three  times  the  space. 

"  The  volume  is  printed  in  exquisite  taste,  the  type— both  Greek  and  English^ 
being  uncommonly  neat,  clear,  and  beautiful." 

Brom  ihe  Puritan  JSeoorder. 

"This  Commentary  shows  a  critical  knowledge  of  the  original,  great  reverence 
for  inspiration,  and  ftn  honest  and  earnest  endeavor  to  ascertain  the  mind  of  the 
Spirit.**

THE  EPISTLE  TO  THE  EPHESIANS,  in  OreeTc  and  English,  with 
an  Analysis  and  ^Exegetical  Commentary.  By  the  Hev.  Samuel 
H.  Turner,  D.  D.    &co,  $1.50. 

JF>ww.  the  North  American  Review. 
"  The  Work  on  the  Epistle  to  the  Ephesians,  contains  an  introduction  in  which 
the  general  questions  connected  with  that  writing— particularly  its  original  desti- 
nation, whether  to  the  Ephesians  or  to  the  Churches  of  Asia  Minor  collectively — 
are  learnedly  and  candidly  discussed ;  an  Analysis  which  brings  out  with  great 
clearness  and  beauty  the  Apostle's  train  of  thought;  and  a  Commentary  so 
thorough  as  to  leave  unused  no  materials  that  could  possibly  serve  the  purpose  of 
elucidating  the  text.  The  author  shows  a  familiar  conversance  with  all  collateral 
and  auxiliary  sources  of  illustratoin,  judicial  exactness  and  impartiality  in  the 
weighing  of  arguments,  and  a  mind  so  profoundly  imbued  with  St.  Paul's  style 
of  thought  and  modes  of  feeling,  that  he  seems  not  infrequently  to  apprehend  the 
Apostle's  meaning  by  the  sympathy  of  his  own  spiritual  nature,  though  in  such 
cases  he  always  verifies  his  intuition  by  reasoning." 

From  the  Protestant  Churchman. 
"The  first  thing  that  we  have  to  say  of  this  book  is,  that  its  mechanical  execu- 
tion is  beautiful.  The  paper,  print,  and  binding  leave  nothing  to  be  desired. 
»  ♦  ♦  ♦  y(Q  have  next  to  say,  that  we  hail  with  unfeigned  pleasure  this  third 
volume  in  Dr.  Turner's  exegetical  series.  It  bears  the  same  characteristics  of 
learning,  acuteness,  discretion,  independence,  honesty,  and  evangelical  piety 
which  mark  its  predecessors  on  the  Epistles  to  the  Hebrews  and  Romans.  In 
point  of  minuteness  and  fulness  it  is  even  more  satisfactory.  Indeed  the  venerable 
author  has  evidently  spared  no  effort  to  unfold  to  every  reader  the  exact  meaning 
of  the  sacred  text,  without  addition  or  curtailment." 

From  the  Church  Journal. 

"  Though  this  work  is  the  gradually-formed  result  of  the  labors  of  more  than 
the  quarter  of  a  century,  yet  it  is  not  the  old  writers  alone  that  he  (Dr.  Turner)  is 
at  home  with ;  but  the  latest  accessions  to  Biblical  science  have  been  mastered 
and  applied  with  equally  scrupulous  care.  He  is  thoroughly  read  wp.  Works  as 
late  as  Conybeare,  and  Howson,  and  Eadie,  are  repeatedly  referred  to,  and  have 
been  as  thoroughly  ivorJced  in,  as  any  older  commentators.  Nay,  the  preface  con- 
cludes with  a  regret  that  the  author  had  not  been  able  to  consult,  for  his  book, 
Ujdo  other  woris,  which  at  the  time  his  own  was  put  to  press,  had  not  yet  appeared. 
This  is  highly  characteristic  both  of  the  indefatigable  diligence,  and  also  the  deep 
modesty,  without  which  the  truest  and  highest  degree  of  learning  is  impossible." 

F)'om  tJi£  Christian  Witness. 
"  It  is  marked  by  the  same  results  of  bright  scholarship,  thorough  analysis,  and 
devout  contemplation,  which  have  given  him  his  deservedly  high  place  among 
Biblical  students.  *  *  ♦  *  We  owe  it  to  ourselves,  as  well  as  to  one  of  the 
wisest  of  the  interpreters  of  Scripture  which  our  Church  or  country  has  produced, 
to  give  his  works  a  place  in  all  our  libraries."        ,

SERMONS  ON  VARIOUS  SUBJECTS.    Bjf  Mev,  Adam  Empie,  D.  D. 
12»k>.  Mmlm^  $1.00. 

From  ths  Church  Beoiew. 
"  The  Rev.  Dr.  Empie  has  long  been  known  to  the  Church  as  a  well-educated 
scholar,  an  earnest,  sodnd  divine,  a  rubrical  Churchman,  and  an  Evangelical 
preacher.  According  to  the  old-fashioned  notions,  thirty  years  since,  and  before 
the  late  medieval  discussions  had  conceived  and  brought  forth  new  technicalities, 
Dr.  Empie,  like  Ravenscrofl,  and  Hobart,  and  Seabury,  and  Johnson,  may  be  called 
a  'high'  but  not  a  ' dry'  Churchman.  That  is,  he  believes  in  the  Threefold  Min- 
istry as  a  divine  institution,  the  Sacraments  as  Means  of  Grace,  Ac,  Ac,  and  at 
the  same  time,  he  recognizes  and  preaches  the  necessity  of  a  subjective,  experi- 
mental work  of  grace  in  the  heart.  Certain  forms  of  expression  were  used  and 
insisted  on  by  this  class  of  men,  that  grew  out  of  the  controversies  of  their  times, 
and  which  we  could  now  modify,  or  sometimes  vary,  in  formal  statement;  but  the 
great  truths  which  they  held  and  uttered  with  such  earnestness,  are  as  universal 
and  enduring  as  the  nature  of  man  on  the  one  hand,  and  the  plan  of  salvation  on 
the  other.  These  Sermons  of  Dr.  Empie,  prepared  for  the  press  since  physical 
disability  compelled  him  to  retire  from  parochial  responsibility,  will  be  welcomed 
by  members  of  the  six  congregations  of  which  he  was  Pastor,  and  may  be  read 
with  profit  by  Churchmen  every  where."  »  »  •

themselves  to  vague  and  purposeless  religious  harangues  but  which  cleave  per-

«  The  author  of  'Alton  Locke'  is  one  of  the  men  who  have  made  their  mark  upon 
the    iterature  of  the  age.    His  genius  is  unmistakably  original,  while  it  is  emi- 
neut  y  practical.     Those  to  whom  he  is  known  only  as  a  writer  of  fiction,  and  who 
may  ook  in  this  volume  for  mere  sentiment  and  fancy,  draped  in  poetic  language, 
will  be  decidedly  mistaken.    The  author  of  these  sermons  is  not  one  of  those 
preachers  «who  prophecy  smooth  things.'     There  is  a  freshness,  vigor  and 
earnestness  m  his  style,  rarely  found  in  the  published  sermons  of  modern  times 
His  diction  IS  genuine  Saxon.    His  sentences  are  short  and  sharp-they  cut  with 
an  edge,  which  shows  the  temper  of  a  true  Damascus  blade.    Like  the  stalwart 
old  warriors  of  the  Church  militant  in  an  eariier  age,  he  calls  virtues  and  vices 
by  their  honest  old  English  names :  he  does  not  serve  them  up  in  the  smooth  peri- 
phrases of  the  eighteenth  and  nineteenth  centuries:  there  is  no  mistaking  his 
meaning.    *    *    *    *    Our  Episcopalian  friends  in  particular,  and  our  readers 
in  general  whether  they  agree  with  all  the  sentiments  of  the  author  or  not,  wUl 
at  least  find  these  sermons  strikingly  original,  and  full  of  earnest,  manly  thought, 
expressed  with  rare  vigor,  plainness  and  force."

The  Bt.  Bev.  Charles  P.  Mcllmins,  D.  D.,  says  of  the  worh  ;— 

"  T  am  exceedinelv  pleased  with  it.  Milner  has  never  been  so  well  answered.

I^slould  go  far  and  wide.  If  men  of  means  want  a  book  of  usefulness  to  send  oflf 
by  the  hands  of  others,  they  should  purchase  this. 

The  Lord  Bishop  of  Quebec,  says  .•— 

«  The  Bishop  of  Vermont  has  rendered  great  and  valuable  service  to  the  cause 
of  truth,  by  his  overpowering  exposure  ancf  triumphant  refutation  of  a  book  which 
has  beeA  everywhere  a  favorite ;  and  from  its  unscrupulous  and  artful  statemen  s 
too  often  a  successful  engine  in  the  hands  of  Romish  zealots,  when  engaged  in  the 
work  of  proselytism.  It^'is  pleasing  also  to  observe,  that  7hil«^heJ3ishop  is  ofte^ 
roused  to  an  indignant  tone  of  reprobation  in  sneaking  of  the  work  of  Mdner,  he 
preserves  a  perfect  tone  of  courtesy  towards  tW  preFate  to  whom  his  letters  are 
addressed." 


Ths  Bt.  Bev.  W.  B.  WUttmgUm,  P.  D.,  Bishop  of  MaryUnd,  says:^ 
"The  purpose  you  avow  in  the  publication  of  *The  End  of  Controversy,  Con-

"THE  END  OF  CONTROVERSY"  CONTROVERTED.  A  R^u- 
tation  of  Milner' s  ''End  of  Controversy,'"  in  a  Series  of  Letters 
addressed  to  the  Most  Reverend  Francis  Patrick  Ken  rick, 
Roman  Catholic  Archbishop  of  Baltimore.  By  Joetn  Henry 
Hopkins,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  Bishop  of  Vermont.  12wo.,  2  vols.  $2.00. 

liie  Bt.  Bev.  Alfred  Lee,  D.  D.,  says: — 

"  *  The  End  of  Controversy,  Controverted,'  is  one  of  the  most  candid,  thorough 
and  able  works  that  has  ever  been  published  on  the  Controversy  between  the 
Romanist  and  the  Protestant,  and  will  amply  repay  an  attentive  peinisal  by  all 
who  wish  to  understand  this  important  subject." 

The  Bt.  Bev.  Q.  W.  Freeman,  D.  D.,  Missionary  Bishop  of  the  South-west,  says: — 

"  I  regard  it  not  only  as  a  complete,  triumphant,  and  ennobling  reply  to  Milner, 
but  as  one  of  the  clearest,  most  eloquent,  and  most  satisfactory  and  conclusive 
popular  works  on  the  controversy  of  the  Reformed  Church  with  Rome,  that  I  ever 
met  with ;  and  I  should  be  pleased  to  see  it  in  the  hands  of  every  individual  in  our 
country  who  is  able  to  read  and  to  understand  it." 

The  Bt.  Bev.  John  WiMams,  D.  D.,  Assistant  Bishop  of  Connecticut,  says : — 

"  It  is  a  noble  work,  and  an  honor  to  the  American  Episcopate  and  Church.  I 
know  no  work  in  which  such  extensive  learning  is  brought  to  bear  on  the  contro- 
versy with  the  Roman  Church,  in  a  way  which  is  at  once  so  scholarly  and  popular. 
It  is  greatly  to  be  wished  that  it  might  be  in  the  hands  of  all  our  Laity  as  well  as 
Clergy.  Not  its  least  valuable  part,  in  my  view,  is  its  masterly  assertion,  exposi- 
tion and  defence  of  the  great  principle  of  our  Reformers,  *  The  Scriptures  as  the 
Rule  of  Faith,  according  to  the  Primitive  Catholic  Interpretation,  with  the  right 
of  Private  Judgment,  in  order  to  decide  what  the  interpretation  was.' " 

T%s  Bt.  Bev.  Thomas  M.  Glarh,  D.  D.,  Bishop  of  Bhode  Island,  says : — 

"I  have  read  'The  End  of  Controversy,  Controverted,'  with  very  great  interest. 
There  is  perhaps  no  man  in  the  country  better  qualified  to  hold  an  intelligent  and 
courteous  argument  with  the  Romanist  than  Bp.  Hopkins.  This  book  is  precisely 
what  is  needed  at  the  present  juncture  ;  the  style  is  clear  and  attractive,  wie  spirit 
is  kind  and  conciliating,  and  the  positions  are  irrefutable." 

From  the  Church  Journal. 

"To  those  readers  especiallv  who  have  been  shaken  at  all  in  their  attach- 
ment to  their  Mother  Church  by  the  specious  lies  of  Milner,  we  would  earnestly 
commend  this  work  of  Bishop  Hopkins,  as  in  our  opinion  a  most  masterly  expose 
of  the  falsehoods,  calumnies,  and  perversions  of  that  most  subtle  and  sophistical 
writer.  In  this  respect  it  is  invaluable.  We  know  of  nothing  in  our  language 
better  calculated  to  undeceive  such  persons,  and  to  give  them  a  clear  view  of  the 
true  merits  of  the  controversy  with  Rome.  Lively  in  style,  close  and  cogent  in 
argument,  full  of  pith  and  substance,  it  is  just  such  an  antidote  to  the  poison  of 
Mnner,  as  every  clergyman  of  the  Church,  and  every  layman,  ought  to  have  ready 
at  hand.  Let  it  be  widely  disseminated,  and  there  will  be  no  more  room  for  the 
question,  *  Why  is  not  Milner  answered  ?' " 

From  the  Protestant  Chu/rchman. 

"  These  volumes  have  just  been  laid  upon  our  table.  We  know  of  no  Bishop  of 
the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church  in  America  better  qualified  earnestly  to  contend 
with  Rome  for  the  true  faith,  than  their  learned  and  able  author."

**  Page  after  page  rolls  freely  on,  as  if  the  author  were  himself  talking  to  the 
reader ;  as  if  his  very  voice  could  be  heard,  rising  and  fulling  with  the  interwoven 
tissue  of  argument,  illustration,  warning,  entreaty,  and  tender  consideration  for 
ignorances  and  prejudices.  At  one  time,  he  marches  straight  at  the  adversary, 
meets  him  face  to  face,  gives  him  choice  of  his  own  weapons,  and  of  time,  place 
and  circumstance :  then  fights  him  a  pitched  battle,  unmasking  all  his  specious 
defences,  striking  home  at  once,  and  following  up  with  blow  on  blow  redoubled, 
until  the  enemy  is  not  only  defeated  but  annihilated.  At  another,  he  gently  binds 
him  about  with  cords  that  seem  slender  and  weak  at  the  first,  but  one  after 
another  they  follow,  growing  thicker  and  more  numerous,  they  wind  around  and 
around,  until  the  opponent  finds  himself  at  length,  and  almost  imperceptibly, 
bound  hand  and  foot,  and  compelled  to  surrender  at  discretion.  Not  in  vam  has 
the  gifted  author  suttered  for  years  in  the  struggle,  through  which  he  has  returned 
unto  the  Church  from  which  his  ancestors,  in  an  evil  day,  went  out.  If  his  own 
heart  had  not  been  so  deeply  wrung,  he  would  never  have  known  how  to  reach  so 
surely  the  hearts  of  those  who,  though  now  what  he  was  once,  are  yet  alarmed  hv 
the  downward  tendency  of  eveiy  thing  around  them,  and  are  beginning  to  searcn 
for  *  a  more  excellent  way.'  The  learned  and  accurate  Theologian  might  prefer  a 
treatise  more  condensed  and  more  technical ;  but  for  the  many  we  are  satisfied 
that  this  is  by  far  the  best  work  on  the  controversy  with  Presbyterians  (including 
questions  fuiidamental  to  all  Protestant  sects)  that  has  ever  yet  been  written.  It 
will  be  read  by  thousands  and  tens  of  thousands,  to  whom  other  books  on  the 
same  subject  would  seem  too  diy  to  be  either  read  or  inwardly  digested.  The 
work,  as  a  popular  argument  of  the  Church,  cannot  be  fairly  answered;  nor  do  we 
believe  that  an  answer  will  be  attempted." 

Ihrni  the  Church  {late  Toronto puhlicatian.) 

"He  ^the  author)  invests  the  subject  with  an  interest  rarely  to  be  met  with  in 
treatises  of  a  controversial  character;  in  fact  the  volume  possesses  all  the  charms 
of  an  earnest,  graphic  autobiography,  and  whilst  it  inculcates  the  greatest  truths, 
Is  as  engrossiugly  absorbing  as  romance. 

'*  Seldom  have  we  seen  instruction  clothed  in  a  more  winning  or  attractive 
garb.  *  *  ,  *  * 

"We  cannot  dismiss  this  admirable  volume  without  expressing  a  heartfelt 
hope,  that  its  circulation  in  our  province  may  be  as  extensive  as  its  merits  are  un- 
questionable. A  better  contribution  to  a  Parochial  Library  we  have  seldom  met 
with,  and  the  lownesa  of  its  price  places  it  within  the  easy  reach  of  all." 

JF5w»  ^  Christian  Witness, 

"  It  is  written  in  a  clear  and  vigorous  style,  and  affords  evidence  that  its  author 
is  a  man  of  no  ordinary  ability.  It  gives  the  author's  experience,  as  its  title  im- 
plies, while  looking  for  something  which,  like  hundreds  of  others,  he  was  con- 
scious tliat  he  did  not  have.  There  may  be,  on  the  part  of  the  writer,  a  tendency, 
which  has  become  common,  and  may  be  considered,  perhans,  natural,  to  ^o  to  the 
opposite  extreme,  after  having  been  so  long  locked  up  in  the  iron  arms  ot  Calvin- 
ism. Most  of  those  who  enter  the  Churcn  from  otner  denominations,  seem  to 
come  with  a  reacting  impulse,  which  sends  them  to  the  highest  point  of  what  may 
be  termed  sound  Church  views.     It  is  not,  however,  invariably  so. 

"  The  book  before  us  is  valuable,  as  affording  an  insight  into  the  workings  of 
the  Presbyterian  system.  It  will,  we  have  no  doubt,  prove  interesting  to  all,  and 
profitable  to  many,  who  will  read  it.''

pp.  59S.     12nw.  Muslin,  %im. 

From  the  Chwrehman. 
*' A  more  thorough  review,  a  more  searching  and  withering  examination  of  the 
evils  of  sectarianism,  a  more  beautiful  and  feeling  tribute  of  praise  to  the  Church 
perhaps  does  not  exist  in  the  English  language." 

From  the  Calendar. 

"Its  author  possessed  brilliant  talents,  and  was  perfect  master  of  the  subject 
And  he  has  furnished  a  sort  oii  ant6bk>graph7j  of  his  experience  of  the  Presbyterian 
system,  and  of  his  yearnings  and  struggles  after  something  more  stable  and  satis- 
fying. The  work  may,  moreover,  be  regarded  as  a  morbid  anatomy  of  the  evil 
working  of  the  various  sects  with  which  America  swarms.  And  we  have  no  doubt 
that  it  will  prove  to  thousands,  who  are  instinctively  yearning  after  something 
more  perfect,  a  light  to  guide  them  into  the  ark  of  truth.        *  *  » 

"  It  is,  we  suppose,  known  to  most  of  ourselves,  that  this  work  is  the  production 
of  the  Rev.  F.  S.  Mines,  late  a  missionary  at  San  Francisco,  in  California.  Mr.  M. 
was  originally  a  highly  popular  and  esteemed  Presbyterian  clergyman  in  the  city 
of  New  York.  After  conforming  to  the  Church  he  was,  for  a  time,  the  assistant  of 
the  Rev.  Dr.  MUnor.  After  that  he  labored  for  several  years,  with  great  success,  at 
the  island  of  St.  Croix.  When  failing  health  compelled  him  to  seek  a  colder  climlte 
he  returned  to  New  York  and  became  for  a  short  time  Rector  of  St.  Luke's,  Ross- 
ville,  Staten  Island.  But,  obeying  the  urgent  call  for  missionaries  to  plant  the 
Church  on  the  shores  of  the  Pacific,  he  removed  to  San  Francisco,  where  he  was 
eminently  successful,  notwithstanding  the  heavy  drawback  of  declining  health. 
He  has  gone  to  his  rest  and  his  reward,  and  Trinity  Church,  San  Francisco,  re- 
mains as  the  monument  of  his  devotedness.  Another  monument  of  his  zeal,  his 
learning,  and  his  eloquence  he  has  reared  in  the  work  before  us,  in  which,  though 
dead,  he  yet  speaketh." 

From  the  This  CathoUe. 

"  This  is  a  very  curious  and  interesting  work.  It  shows  the  workings  of  an 
earnest  and  pious  mind,  discovering  by  degrees  the  defects,  not  so  much  of  Pres- 
bytenanisin  as  of  that  system  of  popular  religion,  miscalled'  Evangelical  and 
hpintual  which  is  eating  out  the  heart,  as  well  of  Presbyterianism  as  of  all  other 
sects  m  the  land ;  a  religion,  the  *  downward  tendencies'  of  which  conduct  directlv 
to  mhdelity,  through  the  gradations  of  various  heresies."        «  *  * 

From  th£  Cliurch  Herald,  (  Vlcksburg.) 

"  'The  title  of  this  book  sufficiently  explains  its  end  and  object ;  the  great  success 
which  has  attended  its  publication,  attests  its  usefulness,  and  the  accomplishment 
ot  what  It  has  aimed  at.  He  who  will,  without  undue  prejudice,  read  calmly  its 
truthful  statements,  narrating  the  steps  by  which,  one  by  one,  a  clergyman  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church,  whose  numerous  relatives  near  and  remote  were  also  of 
that  persuasion,  was  forced  bjr  conscientious  convictions  to  abandon  the  fold  in 
which  he  and  his  forefathers  lor  some  generations  had  been  nurtured,  and  to  join 
the  Church  which  they  had  two  centuries  before  causelessly  left,  will  find  it  almost 
impossible  to  resist  the  conclusion  thus  reached.  We  commend  the  book  to  everr 
mquirer  after  truth  in  this  part  of  its  domain."

pen  of  another  parochial  clergyman,  the  Rev.  J.  J.  Nicholson.  It  is  very  different 
ftoa  both  of  its  predecessors,  going  more  deeply  into  the  description  of  personal 
character  and  the  more  extended  development  of  story.  It  has  less  of  dry  keen 
humor  than  the  Rector  of  St.  Bardolph's ;  less  of  workman-like  progress  and  busi- 
ness than  Rockford  Parish ;  but  it  is  more  thoroughly  imbued  with  genial,  social 
■ympathies,  and  the  bearings  of  Church  principles  upon  individual  life,  and  family 
government  and  training."

'  There  is  ability  and  character  enough  in  this  book  of  Mr.  Nicholson  to  produce 
ft  sensation.  It  is  full  of  keen  hits  of  an  arrow,  sharp  and  so  well  barbed  as  to  be 
■ure  to  leave  its  mark.  ♦  *  «  ♦  It  shows  not  merely  the  defects,  but  the  posi- 
tive sinfulness  of  the  system  of  education  in  most  of  our  Female  Boarding  Schools ; 
it  exposes  the  utter  heartlessness  of  much  which  passes  as  popular  philanthropy; 
it  exhibits  the  pride,  self-will,  and  supreme  selfishness  of  modem  liberaliam ;  it 
reveals  the  essential  difference  in  the  very  conception  of  personal  religion,  as  wit- 
nessed in  the  Church  System,  and  in  the  Revival  System ;  and  it  depicts  in  glowing 
colors  the  underhanded  management,  the  innate  vulgarity  and  meanness  of  those 
busy  mischief-makers,  who  almost  always,  for  a  time,  dog  the  steps  of  the  faithful, 
uncompromising  Church  minister,"  &a

a  serious  moral  throughout,  and  is  calculated,  by  its  exposition  of  men  and  man-

EOCKFORD  PARISH ;  or,  The  Fortunes  of  Mr.  Mason's  Successors. 
By  the  liev.  John  N.  Norton,  Rector  of  Ascension  Church, 
Frankfort,  Ky. ;  Author  of  "  The  Boy  Trained  to  he  a  Olergy- 
wa/i,"  dc.     l2mo.,  pp.  216.  Muslin,  63  cents. 


From  the  Christian  Witness. 

"  The  author  has  done  good  service  to  the  Church  in  this,  and  in  his  previous 
work,  *  Full  Proof  of  the  Ministry.^  We  wish  that  the  judicious  hints  which  he 
gives,  and  the  clear  vein  of  common  sense  which  runs  through  all  that  he  says, 
might  be  extensively  followed." 


From  the  Calendar. 

"  The  present  work  is  in  the  same  pleasant  and  agreeable  style,  and  sets  forth 
truth  in  the  same  interesting  manner  as  the  author's  preceding  works.  We  regard 
them  all  as  valuable  additions  to  the  religious  literature  of  the  day." 


From  the  Churchman^ 8  Monthly  Magazine. 

"  An  excellent  contribution  to  parish  library  literature.  The  book  is  very  sug- 
gestive and  practical.  We  will  confess,  for  one,  to  having  found  some  very  useml 
hints,  by  which  we  hope  to  profit." 


3vm  the  Ba/rmer  of  the  Cross. 

"A  book  calculated  to  do  much  good.  It  abounds  with  that  valuable  com- 
modity, 'common  sense.* " 

From  tlie  Church  Jov/mal. 

"  Here  we  have  the  western,  straightforward,  go-ahead-ativeness,  with  ability 
for  the  work,  a  hearty  will,  and  a  broad  humor,  flashing  wit  at  occasional 
strokes ;  but  the  pushing,  driving  worlc  taking  the  lead  of  all  else.  It  is  practical 
parish  work,  of  all  sorts  and  kinds,  just  as  it  comes  along  in  a  western  parish.  It 
abounds  in  faithful  daguerreotyping." 


From  t?ie  Church  Bevieto. 

"  The  author  does  not  give  us  learned  quotations  from  the  Fathers,  nor  elabo- 
rate arguments  to  show  that  the  English  Reformers  did  hold  to  this,  and  did  not 
hold  to  that ;  but  he  exhibits  the  Church  at  work,  and  as  she  appears  in  those  every- 
day occurrences  of  which  life  is  made  up.  The  book  is  sure  to  be  useful ;  it  is  m 
that  quiet,  yet  earnest,  loyal  tone,  to  which  the  heart  of  the  Church  is  more  and 
more  respoiiding  as  she  is  nerving  herself  for  her  responsibilities.'*

From  the  Church  JounuU. 

"The  Rev,  F.  W.  Shelton  has  achieved  a  position  in  the  literature  of  this 
country  which  will  insure  a  ready  perusal  to  every  thing  which  he  may  write.  A 
quiet,  keen  observation;  a  dry,  quaint,  yet  most  easy  and  natural  humor;  a 
genial  complacency  which  springs  out  of  a  strong  faith  in  the  good  results  of 
honest  and  persevering  labors,  no  matter  how  much  of  weakness  or  ludicrous 
failure  may  attend  upon  the  efforts  of  poor  human  nature;— all  these  give  a  charm 
to  his  writings— a  healthful  charm— which  makes  them  as  safe  in  the  reading  as 
they  are  enjoyable.  Everybody  will  be  glad  to  hear,  therefore,  of  a  new  edition 
of  The  Eedw  of  St.  BarMph's  and  Peeps  f mm  a  Belfry.  The  former  gives  a  con- 
tinuous history  of  a  parochial  Clergyman's  life  until  his  departure  from  this  vale 
of  tears.  The  other  is  made  up  of  detached  scenes  from  the  same  wonderfully 
varied  range  of  experience;  and  from  ih&  seven  sleepers  to  the  old  lady  who  declared 
that  she  was  *  born  in  a  square  pew  and  would  die  in  one,*  and  did  die  in  it :  there 
is  not  a  page  that  does  not  witness  to  the  pleasant  mirth  that  ripples  the  surface 
of  life,  as  well  as  to  the  unfathomable  depths  that  lie  below." 

From  tlie  Churchman. 

« *  Peeps  from  a  Belfry;— \i  is  literally  a  Parish  Sketch  Book.  Where  the  author 
has  got  his  •  peeps'  from— whether  the  belfry  of  his  church,  or  the  attic  window 
of  his  parsonage— matters  little.  He  has  got  them ;  he  has  conveyed  them  to  his 
canvas  with  artistic  skill ;  and  they'may  be  contemplated,  we  are  persuaded,  by 
young  and  old,  with  both  pleasure  and  profit." 

From  the  True  Catholic. 

"The  judgment  of  public  opinion  has  long  since  been  passed  in  favor  of  'The 
Rector  of  St.  Bardolph's,'  and  it  is  as  much  out  of  our  power  as  it  would  be  contrary 
to  our  wishes,  to  reverse  tliat  judgment.  We  concur  entirely  in  the  opinion,  that 
it  is  one  of  the  best  American  works  of  fiction. 

" '  Peeps  from  a  Belfry'  is  even  more  to  our  taste  than  the  other  work.  It  is  a 
series  of  short  tales  and  sketches,  in  the  production  of  which  we  think  that  the 
author  is  more  successful  than  in  the  longer  story.  It  is,  however,  evident  in 
both  that  Mr.  Shelton  is  no  common  man.  His  views  of  life  and  of  theology  are 
sound,  and  he  is  powerful  in  pathos,  in  humor,  and  in  softened  sarcasm. 

"  Much  has  been  written  of  late  about  the  composition  of  sermons ;  but  little 
or  nothing  better  than  Mr.  Shelton  has  given  us  in  the  sketch  of  '  The  Modd 
Parish,*  which  is  to  be  found  in  •  Peeps  from  a  Belfry.'

"In  a  very  simple  and  unpretending  way  this  little  volume  sets  forth  tbose 
great  religious  *  Truths'  which  alone  can  tend  to  purify  the  heart  and  sanctify  the 
home.  These  Truths  are  gradually  developed  in  a  succession  of  soliloquies,  in  a 
way  which,  while  it  guides  the  thoughts  of  the  searcher  after  truth,  affords  him 
ample  scope  for  his  own  meditation,  and  leads  him  to  draw  conclusions  for  him- 
■dt    We  regard  it  as  a  valuable  addition  to  the  religious  literature  of  the  day. 

JPVom  ihs  Cfvurch  Journal. 

***ffeart  and  Rome  Truths^  is  the  modest  title  of  a  work,  in  which  will  be  found 
much  more  than  the  average  of  deep  thought,  and  true  tender  feeling.  From  the 
contemi>lation  of  the  most  familiar  features  of  natural  things,  the  nature  of  Truth 
is  beautifully  illustrated,  and  the  modes  by  which  it  is  to  be  attained  are  shown 
to  be  in  the  closest  analogy  with  the  other  works  of  Him,  who  hath  composed  in 
one  Spirit,  both  the  Book  of  Nature  and  the  Book  of  Revelation.  Its  doctrinal 
tone  is  high  and  uncompromising,  though  altogether  devoid  of  harshness ;  and 
the  drapery  of  style  is  as  rich  with  the  embroidery  of  fan^  and  a  glowing  imagi- 
nation, as  the  glorious  face  of  nature  itself  can  make  it.  This  unpretending  work 
will  make  a  wav  for  the  Truth  in  the  minds  of  many,  upon  whom  a  more  didactic 
manner  would  be  thrown  away." 

CITY  MISSIONS.  A  Report  and  Supplement  rendered  to  tJis  Right 
Reverend  the  Protisional  Bishop  of  the  Diocese  of  New  York. 
12mo,  Pamphlet,  20  cent8» 

Ihtm  the  Chun^  Journal. 

"The  Rev.  W.  A.  McVickar's  brochure  on  City  Missions  is  most  timely,  and 
ousht  to  be  carefully  read  and  deeply  pondered  by  the  Churchmen  of  New  York, 
and  indeed  of  all  our  other  sreat  cities.  It  is  in  the  form  of  a  Report  rendered  to 
the  Provisional  Bishop  of  this  Diocese;  and  it  takes  that  form,  because  a  com- 
mendatory letter  of  the  Bishop's  gave  Mr.  McVickar  more  than  ordinary  facilities 
while  abroad,  for  gathering  information  on  this  interesting  subject  The  whole 
of  this  Report  we  shall,  in  portions,  transfer  to  our  columns,  under  Selected. 

"The  Report  is  followed  by  a  Supplement,  filled  with  matter  of  the  greatest  in- 
terest, in  close  connection  with  the  main  subject.  The  destitution  of  New  York  is 
ahown  from  authentic  reports,  and  the  actual  operation  of  the  Model  Lodging- 
House  set  before  us,  with  all  its  admirable  results.  An  account  of  St.  Stephen  s 
House,  Boston,  is  given,  with  remarks  upon  Hospitals,  Sisters  of  Charity,  the 
Protestant  Deaconesses  of  Paris  and  Germany,  the  PetUes  Soeurs  des  Pauvres,  the 
Working  of  Penitentiaries  for  fallen  Women,  the  Statutes  of  St.  Ninian's,  Perth,  etc 

"The  spirit  of  this  little  work  is  earnest,  deep,  quiet,  clear,  and  to  the  point. 
There  is  no  pretension,  no  display,  and  no  overboiling  of  merely  temporary  en- 
thusiasm: but  the  settled  and  maturepurpose  of  long  conviction  as  to  great  wants 
and  their  only  sufficient  remedies.  We  do  not  know  when  we  have  seen  a  greater 
amount  and  variety  of  matter  compressed  within  smaller  limits,  than  we  here  find 
in  this  tract  on  City  Missions." 

From  the  Church  Review. 

"  It  is  important,  valuable,  and  timely.  It  revives  and  deepens  the  impression 
which  the  reading  of  British  and  Foreign  Reports  has  often  produced  in  our  mind, 
that  in  this  work  of  Home  Charity,  we  nave  almost  every  thing  yet  to  learn."

CONFIRMATION" ;  or.  Laying  on  of  Hatids,  Its  authority  and  nature. 
By  the  Sef}.  Samuel  Fuller,  D.  D.,  Rector  of  Christ  Churchy 
And&n&Ty  Massachuaetts,  Tract,  6  cents. 

In  tbia  treatise  especial  attention  is  given  to  the  language  of  St.  Paul,  in  his 
epistle  to  the  Hebrews,  chapters  fifth  and  sixth,  and  from  a  minute  examination 
of  the  whole  passage,  both  the  authority  and  the  nature  of  the  rite  of  Confinnation 
are  demonstrated. 

//w»  the  Gliurcfi  Journal, 

"  The  summary  of  Scriptural  and  Patristic  authority  is  complete  and  excellent 
The  full  meaning  of  the  rite  as  complementary  of  Baptism,  is  very  strongly  set 
forth.  And  its  efficacy  as  a  memis  of  ffi'oce,  by  which  the  soul  is  *  made  partaker 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,'  is  insisted  on  with  full  Scriptural  proof,  and  plainness  of 
speech.  Parish  clergymen  will  find  it  very  useful,  especially  in  preparing  con- 
Terts  from  the  denominations  around." 


Frotn  the  C/iurch  Review. 

"  We  have  never  seen  the  authority  of  Confirmation  more  demonstrably  proved, 
nor  its  nature  more  clearly  stated.  For  parochial  use  the  pamphlet  is  well 
adapted.** 

lyom  the  Christian  Witness. 

"  This  is  an  exceedingly  able  and  well  digested  treatise  upon  the  subject  of  Con- 
firmation. It  places  the  Scripture  authority  for  that  holy  rite  in  a  stronger  and 
more  impressive  light  than  we  have  ever  seen  it  presented.  There  are  one  or  two 
of  its  conclusions  in  which  we  do  not  agree  with  its  author,  but  with  the  work  as 
•  whole  we  have  been  deeply  impressed,  and  we  take  pleasure  in  commending  it 
to  all  who  need  to  be  convinced  themselves,  or  who  would  convince  others  of  the 
scriptural  sanctions,  the  high  importance  and  the  consequent  obligations  of  this 
solemn  rite." 

From  the  Gonpel  Messenger. 

**  In  addition  to  his  own  teaching  on  the  subject,  a  pastor  needs  some  manual  to 
place  in  the  hands  of  persons  whom  he  desires  to  have  come  forward  to  Confir- 
mation. As  a  vindication  and  explanation  of  the  rite,  we  know  of  nothing  better 
than  this  little  tract.  It  is  clear  and  conclusive,  and  as  brief  as  the  subject  will 
allow." 

From,  the  Arrwrican  Church  Monthly. 

"  Confirmation  is  an  apt  theme  for  Dr.  Fuller's  hand.  He  handles  it  wisely  and 
well.  The  discourse  makes  but  a  tract  of  moderate  length,  only  tliirty-five  pages ; 
bat  we  do  not  discover  that  any  material  point  in  the  argument  is  left  unprovided 
for.  Both  the  scriptural  and  the  ecclesiastical  matter  of  the  question  are  swept 
up  in  a  masterly  analysis  and  statement.  The  tract  may  be  worthily  taken  as  a 
Btandard  of  the  Church's  teaching  on  the  subject."

"This  short  treatise  is  a  comprehensive  and  methodical  exhibition  of  the 
Church's  teaching  on  the  subjects  of  Baptism,  Confirmation,  and  the  Holy  Com- 
munion. Its  expositions  are  clear  and  satisfactory,  and  its  exhortations  and 
appeals  earnest  and  affectionate."  Publisher's  Critic. 

From  the  Church  Journal. 
"  It  is  still  more  full,  as  a  manual  of  instruction^  than  either  of  the  foregoing : 
('  Tfie  SexiloftU  Lord,'  and  '  The  Laying  on  of  Hands:)  It  goes  on  to  a  close  ex- 
amination of  the  Confirmation  Office  in  the  Prayer  Book,  and  devotes  a  special 
portion  of  the  work  to  the  duty  of  the  newly-confirmed  to  go  on  to  the  Holy  Com- 
munion.   The  importance  of  this  last  branch  cannot  be  overestimated."

Ftom  the  Church  Journal, 

«It  is,  as  nearly  as  such  a  thing  can  be,  a  book  univermay  approved.  And  it 
richly  deserves  an  encomium  thus  unanimous.  Honest,  pithy,  pointed,  strong, 
yet  kindly,  condensed,  and  abounding  in  straightforward,  simple  Saxon,  talking 
to  plain  people  in  the  plainest  way— it  takes  up  and  disposes  of  nearly  all  the 
common  excuses  which  men  and  women  are  wont  to  plead  for  their  neglect  of  the 
*one  thing  needful.'  There  is  no  parish  clergyman  in  the  land  who  will  not  find 
it  one  of  the  most  generally  useful  books  he  could  possibly  select  for  vigorous  cir- 
culation among  the  cooler  part  of  the  population.  The  author  has  both  his  head 
and  his  heart  in  the  right  place:  and  his  hand  has  given  faithful  expression  to  the 
best  of  both." 

From  the  True  Qdholic. 
"An  excellent  little  book.    It  enumerates,  without  any  attempt  at  method,  up- 
wards of  fifty  excuses  for  not  doing  one's  duty  in  several  particulars,  connected 
with  Religion  and  the  Church.    Each  of  these  is  well  exposed  in  a  few  neat 
remarks,  well  fitted  to  touch  the  consciences  of  the  excuse  makers." 

M-om  the  Banner  of  the  Crma. 

"A  book  which,  without  any  high-sounding  pretensions,  will  prove  far  more 
effective  and  useful  than  many  a  learned  and  ponderous  tome." 

From  the  Episcopal  Recorder. 
"  The  style  is  peculiarly  animated  and  engaging.  The  appeals  to  the  conscience, 
with  which  the  book  abounds,  are  as  marked  by  pungency  and  directness  as  they 
are  by  the  tact  with  which  they  are  applied.  And  though  there  are  a  few  topics 
which  we  would  like  to  see  supplied,  and  one  or  two  epithets  which  might  be 
qualified,  we  believe  that  we  can  safely,  as  well  as  earnestly,  commend  the  book  as 
one  of  the  best  that  can  be  given  to  that  class  which  contents  itself  with  a  slovenly 
and  half-way  performance  of  religious  duties.'"

"  Bishop  Southgate's  Di/rections  for  the  Observance  of  Lent  improve  the  more 
they  are  examined.  They  show  a  long  and  thorough  experience  in  the  cure 
of  souls,  and  that  familiar  mastery  over  practical  difficulties  which  nothing  but 
mature  and  well-employed  experience  can  give.  The  chief  part  of  the  little  work 
is  devoted  to  the  spiritual  duties  of  the  season,  the  remarks  concerning  the  material 
differences  which  ought  to  mark  it,  being  comparatively  short,  but  eminently 
judicious.  The  Brief  Heads  of  Sdf  Examination  are  taken  from  the  *  Whole  Duty 
of  Man' — and  no  better  could  be  found. 

"  A  catalogue  of  Books  appropriate  for  the  Lenten  Season  is  appended  by  the 
publishers." 

"  The  counsels  are  most  excellent.  It  would  be  well  for  the  cler^r  to  procure 
and  circulate  the  book."  Gospd  Messenger. 

"  The  directions  here  given  are  simple  and  concise,  furnishing  rather  a  few 
leading  hints,  than  nsking  the  embarrassment  of  the  mind  with  multiform  in- 
structions." Churchman.

THE  SACERDOTAL  TITHE.    By  Adam  Townley,  Presbyter  of  the 
Biocese  of  Toronto.     ISmo.  25  cents, 

"  Mr.  Townley  has  written  this  little  book  to  show  that  the  voluntary  gift  of 
the  tithe  for  religious  purposes  is  the  duty  of  every  Christian  man.  He  proves  it 
as  a  natural  conseq^uence  of  our  relations  to  God,  by  the  custom  of  the  Patriarchs, 
the  law  of  the  Jewish  Church,  the  example  of  pagans,  the  testimony  of  Christian 
antiauity,  and  the  necessities  of  the  times.  The  argument  is  concise,  simple  and 
forciule,  and  shows  that  the  author  has  the  honor  of  God  near  his  heart." 

Bome  Baily  Sentinel. 

"  We  wish  this  work  might  be  extensively  circulated  and  read ;  for  we  believe 
that  those  who  are  not  convinced  by  its  arguments  will  find  it  instructive  and 
useful,  as  suggesting  many  thoughts  which  a  Christian  ought  to  consider."

"  Tbe  Revolution  is  the  great  central  fact  of  American  History,  around  which  all 
its  other  parts  revolve,  like  planets  in  their  orbits  round  the  sun.  We  are  glad 
to  see  this  more  and  more  recognized,  and  to  find  that  the  yearly  diminishmg  re- 
cords of  that  •  time  that  tried  men's  souls,'  are  collected  with  increasing  care,  and 
treasured  up  with  ever-growing  reverence.  The  Memoirs  of  EUcanah  Watmn  are 
%  valuable  contribution  to  the  Reoolutiomry  Retmins  of  the  countrv,  and  as  such 
must  be  received  with  general  favor.  The  book  is  made  up  trom  the  Journals  of 
the  venerable  subject  of  the  Memoir,  much  condensed.  These  Journals  he  kept  care- 
fully from  his  nineteenth  year  until  he  was  past  the  bounds  of  fourscore,  noting 
all  affairs  of  public  interest  with  that  life  and  truth  of  touch  which  is  bevond  the 
reach  of  any  but  contemporary  pens.  There  will  be  found  not  a  little  that  is  of 
merely  local  interest,  or  of  special  import  only  to  farmers.  But  the  zest  and  point 
of  the  leading  features  of  the  book  are  unfailing.  Elkanah  was  of  ruritan  slock, 
and  in  some  respects— especially  a  vigorous  and  wholesale  hatred  of  Rome— re- 
tained his  original  stamp  unsoftened  during  life.  In  others,  be  became  largely 
liberalized.  Shrewd,  cool,  sensible,  patient,  enterprising,  and  in  many  respects 
highly  sagacious,  he  has  left  his  own  impress  upon  his  book.  Personal  notes  of  the 
Revolution,  and  of  actual  knowledge  of  so  many  of  the  most  prominent  characters 
in  it,  are  the  chief  charms  of  these  Memoirs.  These  features  of  the  work  he  gives 
with  terseness,  like  a  man  who  made  facts,  not  style,  his  main  business.  His  geo- 
graphical and  local  information,  as  to  the  condition  of  different  parts  of  the  country 
m  the  Northern  and  Southern  States,  is  exceedingly  useful,  and  very  interesting  to 
all  who  know  what  it  is  now.  His  own  personal  adventures  are  modestly  related, 
and  yet  take  and  keep  the  attention  of  the  reader  throughout,  whether  as  a  boy  con- 
veying powder  to  the  patriots  before  Boston,  and  standing  with  awe  before  Wash- 
in  i^ton;  or,  as  a  man,  being  introduced  to  the  amenities  of  Parisian  society  bv 
Franklin,  or  bollimj  the  brlimtoM  out  of  Tom  Paine  at  Nantes.  [The  falthy  infadel, 
we  need  hardly  say,  could,  by  no  art  or  management,  be  brought  into  a  state  of 
cleanliness  sutficiently  permanent  to  entitle  him  to  the  ordinary  civUities  ol  i^hria- 
lis  book  will  have  an  extensive  run."

FRANCIS    HOPKINSON. 

From  the  Church  Bevieto,  {New  Haven.) 

"Francis  Hopkinson  was  a  Philadelphian  by  birth,  of  respectable  English 
descent,  of  good  education,  a  member  from  New  Jersey  of  the  Continental  Con- 
gress, a  signer  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  a  Judge  of  Admiralty  for 
Pennsylvania,  and  afterwards  of  the  United  States  Court,  appointed  by  Washing- 
ton, and  died,  holding  this  office.  May  9th,  1791.  Sympathizing  heartily  with  the 
colonies  in  their  struggle  with  Great  Britain,  he  brought  the  aid  of  his  keen 
sagacity  and  pungent  satire  to  fan  the  revolutionary  flame.  The  allegory  before 
us  was  published  as  a  pamphlet  in  1774,  under  the  title  of  *  A  Pretty  Story,  by 
Peter  Grievous,  Esq.,  A.  B.  C.  D.  E.  Veluti  in  speculo ;'  and  was  admirably 
adapted  to  stir  up  the  indignation  of  the  colonists  at  the  grievous  wrongs  inflicted 
upon  them  by  the  British  ministry.  It  is  a  curious  relic,  and  is  well  worthy  of 
the  beautiful  dress  in  which  it  now  appears."

Ihmi  ike  Taunton  Democrat. 

"This  little  work  has  both  an  historical  and  allegorical  interest.  The  'Old 
Fann*  and  the  *New  Farm'  are  the  mother  country  and  the  colonies.  It  was 
written  on  the  eve  of  the  Revolution,  for  a  purpose  akin  to  that  of  the  political 
pamphlet  and  novel  of  the  present  day ;  and  doubtless  had  its  full  share  of  in- 
fluence in  hastening  the  conflict  between  the  parent  government  and  the  colonies. 
The  writer  was  one  of  the  keenest  wits  and  brightest  scholars  of  his  day,  the  con- 
temporary and  colleague  of  Franklin  in  public  life,  and  in  some  measure  his 
counterpart  in  versatility  and  value  of  character.  He  was  a  proficient  in  music, 
poetry,  mechanics,  mathematics  and  other  departments  of  science,  and  both  im- 
agination and  refinement  add  their  graces  to  the  golden  wisdom  and  noble  purpose 
of  his  writings.  Nothing  can  be  more  felicitously  done  than  this  allegory,  itself 
now  reproduced  in  the  quaint  and  singular  style  of  printing  of  eighty  years  ago ; 
but  the  annotations  by  Mr.  Lossing  contain  the  historical  key  to  its  most  subtle 
passages,  and  will  familiarize  the  minds  of  American  youth,  to  whom  it  is  dedi- 
cated, with  all  its  valuable  meaning.  Its  thick  covers  accord  well  with  the  solid 
merit  they  enclose,  and  the  gilded  exterior  is  the  fitting  garb  of  golden  truths 
within," 

From  the  Hidorical  Magazine,  {Boston.) 

**  It  seems  very  strange  to  us,  who  are  accustomed  to  the  envenomed  personalities 
of  a  political  contest  now,  to  read  the  corresponding  appeals  made  to  our  fore- 
fathers at  the  time  of  the  Revolution.  "We  wonder  that  such  comparatively  tem- 
perate appeals  should  have  kindled  such  a  blaze  of  patriotism  ;  but  we  forget  that 
the  truths,  now  become  so  familiar,  were  then  uttered  for  the  first  time.  We  can 
judge,  then,  of  the  value  of  these  Revolutionary  pamphlets  only  by  the  results  they 
gained ;  and  by  that  standard  we  must  give  them  the  first  rank. 

"  Mr.  Lossing  has  presented  the  public  with  a  beautiful  edition  of  one  of  the  most 
spirited  and  genial  of  these  political  tracts.  The  form  of  the  story  is  happy,  and 
the  style  clear  and  animated,  and  throughout  bears  the  impress  of  the  gentleman. 
It  would  be  useless  to  praise  the  editor's  labors,  for,  though  he  has  added  much 
to  the  beauty  of  the  work,  with  pen  and  pencil,  we  expect  it  of  him  in  all  his 
works ;  and  we  have  but  to  thank  him  for  having  kept  the  implied  promise  of  his

"A  brief  but  capital  political  allegory,  written  early  in  the  times  of  the  Revolution, 
by  the  celebrated  Francis  Hopkinson,  whose  Baiile  of  the  Kegs  is  perhaps  better 
known  than  any  other  revolutionary  ballad.  It  is  printed  on  very  beautiful  paper, 
with  old-fashioned  type,  some  very  good  wood-cuts,  and  valuable  explanatory 
notes  by  Lossing,  who,  as  an  authority  in  Revolutionary  matters,  is  now  without 
his  parallel.    A  very  excellent  portrait  of  Hopkinson  adorns  the  introduction."

DESIGNS  FOR  PARISH  CHURCHES,  in  the  three  styles  of  English 
Church  Architecture  ;  with  an  analysis  of  ea/ih  style ;  a  Review 
of  the  Nomenclature  of  the  Periods  of  English  Gothic  Architec- 
ture, and  sotne  remarks  introductory  to  Church  Building,  exem- 
plifi^  in  a  series  of  over  one  hundred  illustrations.  By  J.  Cole- 
man Haet,  Architect.    Imperial  Svo.  Muslin,  $4.00. 

lYom  the  North  American  Review,  April,  1857. 

"  We  hardly  feel  competent  to  notice  this  splendid  work,  and  should  be  glad  to 
furnish  room  in  some  future  number  for  its  analysis  by  a  professional  hand.  In 
a  form  which  has  not  been  surpassed  in  beauty  by  any  American  book,  it  presents 
the  general  features  of  Gothic  Church  Architecture,  the  requirements  in  shape, 
material,  and  symbolism  of  the  essential  parts,  members  and  furniture  of  an  ade- 
quate church  edifice,  and  the  distinguishing  traits  of  the  Early,  the  Decorated,  and 
the  Perpendicular  English  style,  with  plates  of  perspectives,  plans,  elevations,  and 
details  in  each  style.  Many  of  the  details  are  applicable  only  to  the  architecture 
of  the  Episcopal  Church ;  but  the  general  principles,  the  outlines  and  proportions 
of  the  several  models,  and  a  large  part  of  the  more  minute  arrangements,  deserve 
the  careful  study  of  all  who  would  make  the  house  of  worship  suggestive  and 
typical  of  its  sacred  use,  and  would  banish  the  shams  and  subterfuges  of  a  grov- 
elling utilitarianism  from  the  precincts  where  the  very  stones  and  timbers  should 
betoken  the  sincerity  and  fervor  of  their  consecration." 

FVom  the  Church  Journal. 

"  The  history  of  architecture  on  this  side  of  the  water  cannot  show  a  more  beau- 
tiful work  than  J.  Coleman  Hart's  Designs  for  Parish  Churches.  There  is,  in  the 
numerous  designs  contained  in  the  book,  not  a  little  of  originality,  with  many 
traces  of  careful  study ;  and  yet  a  liberal  and  judicious  appropriation  from  ancient 
examples." 

From  the  Banner  of  the  Cross. 

"  When  we  first  opened  it,  we  could  for  a  moment  hardly  realize  that  we  had 
not  in  our  hands  a  beautiful  English  publication.  It  will  be  a  great  help  to  those 
who  wish  good  models,  and  are  willing  to  follow  them  when  formed."    *    ♦    * 

From  the  Presbyterian  Banner  and  Advocate. 

"  The  artistic  excellence  displayed  in  the  getting  up  of  this  book  is  of  the  high- 
est order.  The  London  publishers  are  famed  for  the  beauty  and  correctness  with 
which  their  magnificent  publications  are  prepared;  but  we  have  never  seen  any 
architectural  volume,  even  from  Weale  of  Holborn,  that  for  paper,  type,  engrav- 
ing, and  beauty  of  the  perspective  views,  exceeds  this  work  from  the  press  of 
Dana  &  Company.  The  book  is  an  exceedingly  suggestive  one,  and  although  the 
plates  which  Mr.  Hart  has  here  given,  are  designed  for  the  services  of  the  Epis- 
copal Church,  still  the  work  is  of  great  value,  and  will  afford  much  information  to 
architects  in  projecting  an  edifice  for  the  use  of  any  other  section  of  the  Protes- 
tant Church." 

From  the  Presbyterian. 

"  The  work  before  us  is  valuable  in  all  that  pertains  to  the  English  Gothic.  ♦ 
♦  *  The  getting  up  is  of  the  same  sumptuous  sort  which  characterizes  all  the 
issues  we  have  seen  from  its  publishers."

From  the  Church  JoumaL 

**  The  Children's  Bread  in  Omnibs  from  the  Master^s  TaMe,  is  a  delightful  little 
book.  It  gives  a  short  text,  accompanied  by  a  verse  or  two  for  every  day  in  the 
year.  These  verses  are  in  some  cases  selected,  but  mostly  original  with  the  au- 
thoress, in  whom  we  recognize  the  same  hand  which  not  long  ago  gave  us  **  The 
Jewels  of  the  Lord"  There  is  a  lyric  grace  and  bounding  movement  often  in  her 
verse,  warm  with  affection,  and  tender  in  its  touching  simplicity  and  purity. 
Take  the  following,  for  instance,  on  the  words  of  Jeremiah,  "  Be  like  the  Dove :" — 

With  a  dove's  white  wing, 

And  a  dove's  warm  breast, 
Nestle  and  sing 

In  the  sweet  home  nest : 
Heaven's  pure  love, 

Dear  little  child. 
Rests  on  the  dove. 

And  the  uDdefiled. 

"And  the  following — the  concluding  verse  of  the  Hymn  on  the  Presentation  in 
the  Temple,  and  the  offering  of  doves  brought  by  the  Blessed  Virgin : — 

0  children,  ^ve  to  heaven, 

With  a  free  hand  outspread. 
Not  lost,  are  gifts  so  given : 

The  doves  once  offered 
Come  bactc,  and  brood  with  blessings  on  thy  head. 

"Hymns  for  the  chief  Church  Seasons  conclude  the  work.  It  is  very  hand- 
somely gotten  up,  with  a  symbolical  border  which  appears  on  each  page,  through 
the  daily  part  of  the  book.  The  sides  are  of  wheat  and  grapes ;  at  the  top  is  a 
table  with  broken  bread ;  and  at  the  bottom,  a  little  dog  lies  looking  up  for  his 
crumbs,  with  the  motto : — Great  is  th/y  FaUhj  be  it  unto  thee  even  as  thou  wUt. 
Around  the  Hymns  for  Church  Seasons  is  another  border,  at  the  top  of  which 
stands  the  open  Bible.  On  one  side  the  subjects  are,  the  Serpent  and  the  Tree  of 
Knowledge,  the  altar  of  sacrifice,  the  Lamb,  the  Font,  and  the  Branching-Vine. 
On  the  other  the  Dove,  the  Olive-branch,  Prayer,  the  Cross,  the  Altar  of  the  En- 
diaiist    At  the  bottom  is  our  Lord  blessing  little  Children." 

Ihom  the  (London)  Literary  Gaesette, 

**  Unpretending  and  excellent  in  its  design,  this  little  work  has  the  external  ad- 
▼miage  of  elegant  printing  and  ornamental  pages,  which  may  help  to  render  11 
attractire  to  children,  for  whom  it  makes  a  handsome  gift-book."

'We  know  not  to  whom  we  are  indebted  for  the  most  exquisitely  beautiful 
book  for  a  Christian  child  which  we  have  ever  seen.  It  has  an  appropriate  text 
of  Scripture  and  a  sweet  verse  of  poetry  in  harmony  therewith,  for  every  day  of 
the  year ;  and  every  page  is  surrounded  with  an  emblematic  border,  symbolical  of 
God's  daily  gifts  of  providence  and  grace.  Thousands  of  the  children  of  the 
Church  will,  we  doubt  not,  make  this  delightful  volume  their  daily  companion, 
and  as  they  feed  upon  these  "  Crumbs  from  the  Master's  Table,"  will,  as  they 
grow  in  stature,  grow  also  in  wisdom,  "  and  in  favor  with  God  and  man."  It  is 
just  such  a  book  as  the  fond  heart  of  a  Christian  parent  may  choose  in  the  faith- 
ful fulfiment  of  the  baptismal  vow.  There  are  also  in  the  Appendix  additional 
Hymns  for  the  Christian  Seasons.*

F'om  the  Christian  Witness. 

"  In  this  rich  and  beautiful  volume  for  children,  the  publisher  has  surpassed 
himself.  It  is  a  collection  of  those  texts  of  Scripture  which  are  best  adapted  to 
the  comprehension  of  the  young,  illustrated  and  applied  by  an  accompanying  verse 
of  a  hymn  judiciously  selected.  These  are  arranged  for  every  day  in  the  year, 
and  a  choice  collection  of  hymns  for  the  different  seasons  of  the  Christian  year  is 
appended." 

IVom  the  Gospel  Messenger. 
"  As  a  gift  book  for  children,  it  can  hardly  be  surpassed," 

F'om  the  F^moc^al  Recorder. 

"  The  object  of  this  beautifully  illustrated  work  is  simple.  Following  the  plan 
so  successfully  adopted  for  the  use  of  more  mature  readers,  it  gives  a  text  of 
Scripture  and  a  portion  of  a  child's  hymn  for  every  day  in  the  year.  The  excel- 
lence of  the  selections,  and  the  typographical  beauty  of  the  letter-press,  will 
make  the  work  one  of  uncommon  interest,  as  well  as  use,  to  the  young." 

Fvm  the  Presbyterian  Magazine,  {Philadelphia.) 

"  TJie  Children's  Bread  is  scriptural  truth  *  ♦  *  ♦  »  The  volume  is  a  su- 
perb specimen  of  the  publisher's  art,  and  edifying  in  its  truth."

From  the  Christian  Witney, 

"This  is  an  excellent  little  book,  very  well  written.  It  shows  the  evil  of  instil- 
ling prejudices  into  the  minds  of  children  against  those  who  are  called  to  the 
responsihle  relation  indicated  by  the  title ;  and  at  the  same  time  it  illustrates  the 
power  of  patient,  Christian  love  in  overcoming  those  prejudices.  It  maj  be  read

"  Intended  for  children,  and  teaches  a  moral  of  the  law  of  kindness — not  by 
tfurpng  the  moral  to  the  end  of  the  story,  but  by  making  it  the  living  principle 
which  gives  life  to  the  whole.  It  is  handsomely  gotten  up,  with  several  spirited 
wood-cuts,  printed  in  tint." 

From  the  Protestant  Churchman. 

"  This  is  a  beautiful  story,  from  the  German  of  Christoph  Schmid,  exquisitely 
told,  about  a  poor  lad  who  wanted  to  be  a  carriage-maker,  and  was  befriended  by 
a  great  lady,  and  learned  his  trade,  and  came  to  affluence  and  power,  and  saved 
the  life  of  the  son  of  his  benefactress.  The  moral  is  happily  pointed,  and  the 
story,  though  simple  in  its  plot,  attracts  great  interest  by  its  touches  of  sentiment 
and  path  OS.
